City of Richardson

1960s


At some point in the 1960s, The City of Richardson adopted this logo, with the slogan "A Growing City with a Planned Future" (other logos featured "A Planned City with a Growing Future"). The logo presented a wise man looking to the future, along with four present components of the city they found to be exemplary: places of worship, electronics hub, great schools, and modern homes.

1960s–1970s


Later in the 1960s, the "Planned City" logo was streamlined, keeping the four components, but replacing the school with science, and removing the wise man. The city slogan was replaced "City of Richardson".

1970s–1990s


The "Arrow R" logo was introduced in 1974, during the celebration of Richardson's centennial. It became the primary city logo shortly thereafter, and retained the word font from the previous "Planned City" logo.

1990s–2018


In the early 1990s, the "Paintbrush R" logo was introduced as the primary city logo, with the "Arrow R" logo still present, but relegated to more of a secondary logo.

2018-Present


Introduced at the State of the City event in January 2018, the primary logo was updated, The "Paintbrush R" has been streamlined, and the "Arrow R" has been retired.
