$80,000 for new Columbia Association logo

Columbia Association spent US$80k on their new logo. Part of that cost was the marketing of the new logo and why they did it.

Part of the reason for the change was that the CA didn’t own the copyright to the image of the People Tree and after exploring options to purchase it decided a new logo was the best option
