FM #1346 - Town Council Mtg - Logo & Branding Segment - 12/18/24

Franklin Matters Radio

This session shares the Logo and Branding segment of the Franklin (MA) Town Council Meeting of Wednesday, Dec 18, 2024. 8 of the 9 members participated in Council Chambers, 1 absent (Jones). Special vote to appoint Frongillo as temporary clerk for the meeting to be authorized to sign the documents (approved 8-0-1).

An overflow audience filled the Chambers to start and then filtered away as their recognition section was completed.

Quick recap:

The Town seal with the image of Benjamin Franklin remains (cleaned up for digital use) AND the logo is added to help with branding the Town of Franklin as “The First of Many”.
