RAGBRAI has announced the winner of its logo design contest, Shanelle Yahn.
“After narrowing entries to the top three choices, members of Clinton, Iowa’s RAGBRAI Advisory and Executive Boards voted for the winning design,” officials said in a release. “In an extremely close competition, Yahn’s design beat out another excellent design submitted by graphic artist Hayle Calvin by only two votes.”
Artists were asked to incorporate several elements in the design, including music, the river, a lighthouse, paddlewheel and the colors orange, blue and red.
“Yahn’s design of a bicyclist celebrating his arrival at the river front is a joyful depiction of Clinton’s selected theme “Rolling to the River”,” officials said. “Yahn, 32 years old, is a graduate of the Clinton Community College from the Graphic Design program. She is employed by the Clinton Herald and says she looking forward to RAGBRAI 2021.”
