West Swindon map
Community logos needed

The Link is planning to reprint the West Swindon map in the Autumn,
the only large scale map of the area.
Taking a cue from North Swindon where
every neighbourhood has been given a
logo by the original developers - right -
we’re planning to do the same in the
West and we need your help.
We’re asking readers to consider what
graphic symbols or typestyles could
summarise their communities: Toothill,
Freshbrook, Grange Park, Westlea,
Eastleaze, Shaw, Nine Elms,
Middleleaze, Ramleaze, Peatmoor,
Sparcells.
You can send in rough sketches of a logo,
or suggest a slogan that fits your
community. You might be a professional
graphic designer or illustrator, or a
student in these disciplines. Your entry
will be very welcome.
In all cases the community name has to
be included and because of the limited
space available, the graphic must be
simple, yet say something about the area.
We will publish the submissions so that
readers can choose which logos should
be incorporated onto the map.
To take part in this project, send your
ideas to us at the address on page 4.
