April 10 The effort to design a logo with which to symbolize Yankton’s 150th anniversary next year has been a homecoming of sorts for one artist and an educational experience for a group of students. Several months ago, a committee to design the symbol of the city’s sesquicentennial tapped Bill Johnson — Yankton native and former vice president of creative services at Sony. “The purpose is to have a logo that different organizations can use when advertising whatever they’re doing for the 150th,” said committee member Pam Meylor. “One of the things that I personally feel makes great art is collaboration, rather than isolation,” Johnson said. “I know Shane Miner, and I’m familiar with that graphic design program that they’ve got up there at Mount Marty, so I pitched the idea to Pam to get these students involved in this.” Miner, an assistant professor of graphic design and media arts at Mount Marty, then worked with a group of students to digitize these designs and “alter them in different ways to give them variations on a theme,” he said. These designs were eventually whittled down to three, which residents will have a chance to vote on from April 12-23.
