August 10, 1972 - The Birth of the "D" Logo
-
On this date, the City of Dallas revealed a new corporate trademark - the now-ubiquitous "D" logo. Designed by Crawford Dunn and Associates, the symbol debuted on the cover of the 1972-73 city annual budget. It was described by City Manager W. Scott McDonald as "simple, uncluttered and modern. The "tree" is meant to symbolize the quality of living in Dallas, and also projects a feeling of greenery, growth and concern for the environment."
-
Not a replacement for the "star" graphic in the city flag and the official seal of the city, the "D" logo is instantly recognizable to Dallas citizens. Crawford B. Dunn (1918-1980) was trained at the Art Institute of Chicago and came to Dallas as an industrial designer for Vought Corporation, later opening his own firm. Dunn coined a term for symbol communication - ikonogenics - meaning "image control. His work regularly appeared in the esteemed Graphics Annual until his death.
-
The "D" logo is a registered trademark and its use is regulated by the City of Dallas (city ordinance 14971)
