The logo will be unveiled later this year, just in time for our 70th anniversary celebration in 2026.

Yes. Many cities throughout Orange County—and beyond—use both a City Seal and a logo. A seal is typically reserved for official purposes, while a logo provides a more modern and versatile way to represent the City across digital platforms, signage, community events, and more.
