NEWS FLASH: Winner of the Cordova Center on the Rock Logo Contest Announced! The Cordova Center on the Rock partnership proudly announces the winner of its Logo Design Competition. The prize -winning design came from Andréa Markowski of Des Moines. Andréa is the graphic designer for 16 medical centers, governmental affairs, fundraising, communications and educational programs of Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa. In her free time, she is also a freelance photographer and aspiring actress. The logo design competition attracted numerous entries, submitted from as far away as Oregon. Ten members of the Cordova committee served as the jury for the competition. The Cordova Center and the story of Lake Red Rock and the Des Moines River Watershed is one of relationships between human need and natural resources. The new logo, two stylistic interwoven letters with a water motif suggesting both land and water, reflects that theme in a simple, inventive manner. Entries were judged by their adherence to theme and the extent to which they represented the objectives and regional significance of the Cordova Center on the Rock. Creativity, design, reproducibility, craftsmanship, visual attractiveness, originality, aesthetics, and use of space and color were used to measure the logo's merit. The Cordova Center on the Rock project partners includes the Marion County Conservation Board, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Central College. When completed, the cooperative center will provide environmental learning experiences and enhance the quality of life for both visitors and residents. A $500 award will be presented to the Ms. Markowski as designer of the winning entry. The partners would like to thank everyone who entered the Cordova Center on the Rock Logo Design Contest for sharing their time, talent and artistic efforts.
