City Mark Commerative Publication
Creating Community Through Design: The Rochester City Mark at 50
A commemorative publication celebrating the history, design, and cultural significance of Rochester’s City Mark.
Created as part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the book brings together stories, images, and perspectives that highlight how the mark has evolved alongside the city itself.
From its roots in the 1970s Federal Design Improvement Program to its widespread use across neighborhoods, businesses, and creative spaces, the City Mark has become more than a logo — it’s a shared symbol of Rochester.
The book features archival materials, historical context, and community reflections that showcase the mark’s journey and enduring relevance.
