Reminderville rebranded as a city; has new logo
Reminderville, which officially became a city after the 2020 U.S. Census with 5,412 residents, has unveiled a new logo.
Several months ago, Mayor Sam Alonso and City Council contracted with Guide Studio, a design firm led by two Reminderville residents, to do the rebranding.
According to the city’s website, the pair worked with the Rebranding Stakeholders Committee made up of the following residents: Ritu Chakkarwar, Rhonda Crawford, Robyn Fletcher, Nick Gichenko, Mark Kondik, Julie Berthelot, Johnie Reed, Mark Salapski, Amy Salapski, Brandon Tidd and Ramakrishna Velaga.
The committee worked to share how they feel about living in Reminderville and what makes it special. Using the information received, Guide Studio put together a branding style guide, positioning statement and new logo package.
“It has a more updated feel and the leaves represent the diversity of Reminderville,” says the city website. “We have started using the new logo on city documents, and signage will be updated in the coming months.”
The city’s new positioning statement reads as follows:
“Reminderville is a peaceful haven nestled between busy suburbs. This city of neighborhoods is woven into preserved land, allowing for a natural retreat for those who call it home.
“With a people-first philosophy, its accessible government provides the highest quality of services delivered with care and respect, resulting in a vibrant, diverse and safe community.”
Reminderville was established as a village in 1955 with just a few families; one having the last name of Reminder. The village had a volunteer fire department, threw potluck dinner fundraisers to get items it needed and started building what would become the Reminderville of today.
The population growth from 2010 to 2020 was the largest in Summit County – 59 percent. According to the website, a spirit of citizens coming together to help each other was shown during the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents also come together to have fun at annual community events such as Family Fun Day and the Santa Claus toy delivery.
“We are city close and country quiet,” says the website. “You can easily get to downtown Cleveland for some big-city bustle and then return home to a serene and relaxing setting.
“Reminderville currently has five businesses that offer services all residents can enjoy: Discount Drug Mart, El Chile Bravo, 1899, Conrad’s and the Reminderville Athletic Club."
