Introducing the new Friends of Minute Man logo
Since the Friends of Minute Man was founded in 1989, our organization has grown from a small group of dedicated supporters into the official philanthropic partner of Minute Man National Historical Park. Today, we help fund preservation projects, educational programs, special events, and groundbreaking archaeological research that connect millions of visitors with the birthplace of the American Revolution.
As our nation celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, we are also looking to the future of the Friends of Minute Man. Our original logo has proudly represented the Friends for more than 30 years. As our organization has grown and evolved, we felt it was time to refresh our visual identity.
Our new logo retains the iconic Minute Man statue but presents it in an updated style that better reflects the organization today. Designed to be more versatile and accessible, it will help us communicate more effectively across our website, publications, merchandise, and event materials.
“As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we’re excited to introduce a visual identity that honors our history while preparing the Friends for the future,” said Executive Director Kathleen Fahey. “Although our look has evolved, our commitment to preserving and sharing the stories of Minute Man National Historical Park remains as strong as ever.”
We are grateful to the National Park Foundation for making this rebranding project possible through a generous grant. We also extend our sincere thanks to Curio Museum Design for their thoughtful creativity and expertise in developing a visual identity that celebrates our past, captures our growth, and inspires the next chapter of the Friends of Minute Man.
Over the coming months, you’ll begin to see our new logo across our communications and programs as we gradually roll out our refreshed brand. We will also continue to use our special “250 American Revolution” Anniversary logo to denote 250th events at the Park.
Kristen Palleiko of Curio Museum Design has created a range of logo variations in different shapes and configurations, providing the flexibility needed for use across print publications, digital platforms, signage, and merchandise.
