Cox Media Group Unveils New Logo
• Cox Media Group (CMG) today revealed its new corporate logo after an internal contest among CMG employees who participated in the company’s “Design Our Logo Challenge.” Hundreds of entries were submitted by employees, before the list was narrowed down to three finalists — those designs were then thoroughly vetted through a rigorous series of internal and external research studies, before landing on the winner.
The winning logo, which features the Company’s initials — CMG — is reflective of the Company’s people-centric philosophy. While the “C” and “G” are rendered in a deeper shade of the Company’s signature blue, the “M” is comprised of the brand’s collective bright hues and formed in an artful manner that plays to the Company’s legacy of competition, collaboration and diversity and inclusion.
“The ‘Design Our Logo Challenge’ was a great success and we were amazed at the level of participation from our people,” said Kim Guthrie, President & CEO of Cox Media Group. “While we had hoped to launch our new logo in a bigger, public celebration — we simply could not wait any longer to unveil it and share the news with our winning designer.”
The winning logo was submitted by Kim Colombero, Art Director for CMG-TV/Jacksonville, FL, and experienced graphic artist and art director. Colombero was contacted by Guthrie in a surprise video call, to share the news that her submission was the winning logo. “I was both thrilled and humbled to learn that my submission had made it to the final three, let alone that it had been chosen as the winning logo,” said Colombero. “I’m so proud to work for a company that is so inclusive and actively celebrates employees and their work.”
