Fort St John Logo
The usage of a stylized road represents positive growth (pointing up) and gives a certain historical indication of how the City came to be. Note that the road points toward the north, and has neither a beginning nor an end. While one person may see a road, another may see an oil derrick at the horizon.
The image represents Fort St. John's natural energy resource which is unique in BC. This icon is supported by radiating arcs that represent the energy of the community. It also portrays a progressive community which has all the ingredients to prosper.
A unique colour combination has been chosen to reinforce Fort St. John's image as a positive, stable Regional Service Centre.
The blue is used in the typeface for readability and to reinforce a permanent and stable identification. The colour blue, which represents trust, is also used as part of the symbol to create a friendly and welcoming feeling. The gold is used in the arcs to portray a progressive community. The colour is also used in the line to work as a divider between the name 'Fort St. John' and its theme, 'The Energetic City'.
