Branding Survey

Provo residents can earn a $10 Magleby's gift certificate by taking a brief survey. Provo has been working on developing a new brand identity, and those who qualify by meeting certain demographic criteria can help by taking the survey about the final logo concepts here.

https://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_02oFo7HWjVmOMfy

Those who do not qualify, but who still want to see and evaluate the concepts, may take a similar survey on the mayor's blog here. There is no gift certificate for completing that survey, however.
