North Judson Officials Asked to Consider Designs for Town Emblem

As development continues on the official website for North Judson, Council members are being asked to weigh in on a new potential emblem.

Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe recently told council members that much of the content has been added to the page. However, he noted that since they’re still in the design phase, officials have the ability to take a look at it and suggest formatting changes or any other recommendations. 

Rowe said, “They have all of our pictures, all of our code, all of our ordinances, all of that. A ton of information they have, most all of it’s up.” He continued, “I’ll share the user name and password with you guys so you’ll be able to get on and log in.”   

In addition to contributing ideas for the website’s design, Rowe asked the members to be thinking of a symbol that they could use to represent the town. He said currently the town doesn’t really have an official emblem.

Rowe told members, “Up in the left corner is just a blank, generic, seal of nothing. You know they left a space for a town emblem so I have kind of been kicking some ideas, thinking about it so I just wanted to put it to the council as something that we might need to establish.”


Clerk-Treasurer Rowe proposed utilizing the town’s current letterhead as inspiration.

He explained the letter head features mint leaves which could stand for agriculture. He said he’s also hoping to incorporate the railroads and other key symbols of North Judson.

Members discussed the topic briefly, bringing up a few different suggestions including how to best utilize space with the potential wording and incorporating the blue jay symbol.

Rowe took notes on the recommendations and asked members them to let him know if they have any other ideas over the next few weeks. He said he plans to come back to the council with some potential emblem designs in the future.
