Historic Landmark
Preservation Commission

The Randolph County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission serves as the official body to identify, preserve, and protect Randolph County’s historic landmarks, and to educate the public about those resources as well as historic preservation in general. As a young organization, founded in June of 2008, the purpose of the campaign is to create awareness of the commission.

The logo is based on the Volute motif, found on architecture at the Randolph County Courthouse. The courthouse is one of the most recognized landmarks in Randolph County.

The envelope, the back of the business card and the website incorporate a pattern created from the logo and inspired by textures from the 17th century.

Billboards engage the public by asking questions, leading them to a website created specifically for the campaign.

Research determined that most people interested in the commission were above the age of 55. Therefore, the design of the website is clean with easy navigation for users of all levels.
