Have You Seen Hull Barrett, PC's new Logo?
December 12, 2009
One of the defining factors of our firm is our commitment to the local community, the Central Savannah River Area. The Savannah River is at the geographical and emotional heart of the area and although it separates two states, Georgia and South Carolina, it unifies the residents of the area. With an office in Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina it seemed only natural to incorporate the river into our new logo. The new logo focuses on the initials of the firm’s new name; Hull Barrett. The “H” and “B” in the logo are unified by a wave shape and blue color scheme symbolizing the river and the community.
