Winners of Highbridge Apex Park logo competition are announced

The winners of a competition to create a new promotional logo for Highbridge's Apex Wildlife Park were named on Wednesday (July 1st).

The competition, run by Sedgemoor District Council and the Friends of Apex Park's Improvements Group, called on art students from King Alfred School to design a slogan for the park.

"It was run in response to a previous Green Flag Award judge’s comments that it was difficult for visitors to know what was on offer inside the park from the outside of the park," Claire Faun, spokeswoman for Sedgemoor District Council, told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

The winning students were Jess Simpson with her "Fish, Walk or Play" tagline to accompany the park's swan logo and James Clarke's entry of a bold, visual design that used the idea of reflections in the water.

"James’ idea was original and portrayed Apex Park Logo clearly. Cleo Stead, Grace Housden, Bradley Johnson and Anna Kevan each received commendations for their work."

Jess won a £30 WH Smith Voucher and James a £20 WH Smith Voucher. The winners were chosen in partnership with the Friends of Apex Park Improvements Group and Emma Fisher, Head of Art for King Alfred School.
