We just received word from Admissions Marketing Report that the Missouri S&T logo won a bronze award in the Logo/Letterhead Design category of the 23rd Annual Admissions Advertising Awards.

For some reason, AMR placed us in the category of schools with 10,000-19,999 students, when we should have been in the category of 5,000-9,999 students. But that's OK. We happily accept this award and thank everyone who helped to create the logo by providing their input. That includes many of you readers, who readily shared your thoughts when we first presented concepts last summer, and continued to share your ideas and opinions throughout the process, even up to the official unveiling last September. Thanks also to Ed Sirianno and his team at Creative Communications Associates, who worked with us in developing the symbol.

A commenter to this blog recently asked why we now list street addresses on the new campus signage. "Why a shift from 1870 Miner Circle to having individual addresses for each building?"

Good question.

The reason has to do with assisting first responders in the event of an emergency. As we discovered during an incident that occurred on campus in February 2007, some emergency responders had a tough time finding the right building. In addition, providing specific street addresses for buildings, rather than the generic but descriptive "1870 Miner Circle" address, will make it easier for freight deliveries.

More information about the new address system, including a listing of all the street addresses, is available online at the printing and mail services website.
