The Downtown Columbia Partnership unveiled its new logo on Thursday.



Members of the partnership planned to celebrate the event with a ceremony on the lakefront, but the impending storm caused it to get rained out at the last minute. Still, the first of many lamppost signs bearing the new logo were installed, outside Clyde's.

The Downtown Columbia Partnership is a nonprofit tasked with marketing and promoting downtown Columbia. It is made up of community members and employees of the Howard Hughes Corporation, which is developing projects like the Metropolitan near the mall.



The logo is part of a "new branding campaign that positions Downtown Columbia as a leading lifestyle center within Howard County and the region," according to a statement from the Downtown Columbia Partnership.



Columbia advocate Jean Moon, who helped organize the logo unveiling, said signage with the new logo will appear at this weekend's Wine in the Woods, the Fourth of July celebration and other upcoming events in Columbia.
