MONROE - Plans for a new logo for the Monroe school district are on hold.
On Monday, the school board chose not to make any change to the district's logo and instead stick with the existing block "M" for now. District Administrator Cory Hirsbrunner said the district asked two local vendors to incorporate a female character into the additional Cheesemaker logo the district recently acquired from a company that crowdsources graphic designs. The move to add a female character came at the request of the school board at a previous meeting, and the vendors agreed to do it for free.
One of the artists sent back a potential design, but Hirsbrunner said "we are not pleased" with it. The other artist hasn't returned anything yet.
"I'm a little concerned, at this point, if we keep going and asking for revisions, we're going to have to pay at some point," Hirsbrunner said. She, Monroe High School Principal Chris Medenwaldt and Athletic Director Dave Hirsbrunner recommended the board not make a change until they have more information.
She said art teacher Kathy King and some students have also been asked to come up with solutions for the logo.
