Grimes County Moodboard

The courthouse in Grimes County is a symbol of community and transparency between its residents and government offi cials. The Grimes County Courthouse logo portrays a fresh and lively spirit of the community through the minimal approach of the courthouse and the use of color.

The clean lines and shapes suggests the modern image of Grimes County which complements the typeface selection. The subtle curves on the bottom of the logo are a visual representation of the gently rolling hills seen in Grimes County.

Logo 1

GRIMES COUNTY

Grimes County Logo Presentations

The Grimes County Crest logo explores the concept of history associated with the founding of the county. The crest represents the establishment and government that has been maintained through the government offi cials of Grimes County and its residents.

The use of a Transitional typeface represents the transition between history and modern design as well as complements the clean stroke weights and characteristics of the Crest logo. By keeping the logo in black, the color conjures authority and tradition—which will always remain classic.
