Catherine Hostetler: And we're really pleased with the response that we've received from South <br />Bend Chocolate. <br />Todd Zeiger: The logos that you're designing, will those be used for the chocolate that you're <br />trying to come up with? <br />Catherine Hostetler. Its going to be for that, and other items like stationary, note cards... <br />Todd Zeiger: for the chocolate though, is it going to be printed or imprinted on a label? <br />Catherine Hostetler: It would be on boxes. <br />Mary Jane Chase: I have two questions. Have you decided on a goal, a financial goal that you <br />want to reach? <br />Catherine Hostetler: Not yet. <br />Mary Jane Chase: Have you talked to anyone from the Center for History, because they're in <br />desperate need for finances too. <br />Catherine Hostetler. Well, the thing of it is that we can't position anyone else's product. Their <br />marketing person (SB Chocolate) was the one that looped in Northern Indiana Center for <br />History, because they had never thought of doing this before we approached them. Their <br />suggestion was why don't we split the profits between the two of you because Mark is on the <br />board. <br />Mary Jane Chase: It seems a perfect fit. <br />Catherine Hostetler: It wasn't an issue for us, we just told them to remember who had the idea <br />first. (laughter) <br />Lynn Patrick. You're not asking us to vote on any of these logos tonight are you? <br />Amy Herdman: No, not at all. Its just to let you know where we're going with things and if any of <br />you want to offer guidance or suggestions, obviously we're happy to have that. The Six at Risk <br />will be on next month's agenda-so I'd like your input on that in a timely manner, as I'll need to <br />do some research on the sites that you recommend and we'll want to approve that as a <br />Commission and then the press release will follow. <br />Catherine Hostetler: And also follow up in the newsletter. <br />Todd Zeiger: I have a couple of things... on the logo, a great start, it really is. The Courthouse is <br />a great building, but I think that a lot of people think about government when they think about the <br />Commission and that reinforces the issue that we're just a government agency. I love the <br />building, but we're thinking about the image. And with that logo the image is "Oh my god, I have <br />to go get a CoA ". (laughter) The house on the other end of the spectrum though, doesn't <br />represent everything that we get into. It's a Victorian which is great, but we also get into the <br />teens, we've got mid- 1800's, we're going to have deco and all that and I always shy away from , <br />specific styles, so if there's some way to graphically represent elements of dierent styles... <br />Tim Klusainski. Can we get a hybrid? <br />Todd Zeiger: I'm looking at the text on number 2, the text is very crisp and clean and nice and <br />doesn't tell you anything about a particular era, commercial or residential because we've got <br />commercial, residential, tressels, lamps... without the flower, but maybe you could do something <br />graphically that would represent a variety of styles ...Ilike the crisp lettering ... butjust the crisp <br />lettering without the leaf. Very straightforward, right there. doesn't really judge what we are or <br />aren't, just here we are. Simplicity is really..... <br />Lynn Patrick: You make a very good point. I was at first drawn to the Courthouse drawing <br />because Iliked that the best of the three submitted, but you're right people would have that <br />negative connotation. Just to interject, there is a little giftshop in a castle in England and the <br />members of the committee went all around about this wonderful old church they have there <br />looking at statues of St. George because its called St. George's Shop or something, so they went <br />around to all the different statues to find something that would symbolize that... one was too <br />masculine, one was too feminine, but they went backforth but did find one image that they <br />thought was appropriate, so that is very important. <br />Todd Zeiger: Switching gears to the Six at Risk, I had mentioned this to Amy that perhaps on the <br />first list we focus on buildings in existing districts or land marks that we've already got <br />landmarked. If we're trying to call attention to things then maybe we should start at home in a <br />sense with buildings and things that we've already got in districts or landmarks that may be in <br />13 <br />
