Hillsborough Locals Invited to Design Commemorative Logo

Hillsborough, NJ -- In 2016, the Hillsborough Township Municipal Complex will celebrate its 25th Anniversary.

To celebrate the silver anniversary, the township is hosting a contest to design a commemorative logo which will be used for a banner and letterhead for the year as well as other festivities during the year.

The Hillsborough Township Municipal Complex, originally dedicated on Jan. 14, 1991, was the vision of then Mayor Peter J. Biondi. The building was later dedicated to the late politician who later became a Somerset County Freeholder and ultimately a member of the New Jersey Assembly before his untimely passing in 2011.

The intention was to design a complex to be a central location for various community entities. The goal was to place under one roof the Municipal Departments, Police Headquarters, the Board of Education Offices and the Hillsborough Branch of the Somerset County Library System.

The goal was fulfilled when this flagship building was formerly dedicated in January of 1991.

The requirements for the design include the following:

• “25th” to signify the 25th Anniversary needs to be part of the design;
• A feature of the complex, such as the arch, the playground, Veterans Way or some other pictorial element that signifies the Complex;
• The file format required is jpeg;
• All entries will become property of Hillsborough Township and the creator releases all rights upon submission;
• The chosen logo will be placed on a banner and be used for letterhead for 2016 along with other festivities planned throughout the Anniversary year;
• The winner will be invited to attend the January Township Committee meeting in which the commemorative logo will be unveiled for the public and they will receive a certificate of appreciation signed by the 2016 Mayor and Township Committee;
• All entries are due to the Township Clerk by Monday, Dec. 21 at 4 p.m. and must be submitted in the required format.

“We look forward to seeing the creativity through this contest,” said Hillsborough Mayor Doug Tomson.
