Town Council Approves New Official Town Logo for Town of Mammoth Lakes
The Town of Mammoth Lakes has been using its current logo since 2011 as a brand to market the Town and to represent the Town of Mammoth Lakes as a municipal entity. After 14 years of use, the Mammoth Lakes Town Council formally adopted a new official Town of Mammoth Lakes logo on February 19, 2025.
The current logo has been very successful at marketing and branding Mammoth Lakes led by Mammoth Lakes Tourism. The distinctive blue and white logo is broadly distributed both regionally and globally and seen on branded merchandise, visitor guides, stickers and business cards, to name a few. The reason for the change stated Assistant to the Town Manager, Pam Kobylarz, was that “The Town’s Municipal Code has very specific requirements for the use and distribution of the Town name and logo, and the current Mammoth Lakes logo doesn’t meet those requirements since it’s so publicly accessible.” The Town of Mammoth Lakes needed a logo that could represent the authority of the Town and is limited in its distribution.
The existing Mammoth Lakes marketing logo will continue to be used by the Town for a variety of reasons including on public-facing signage and at the Community Recreation Center. The Mammoth Lakes logo will continue to serve as the marketing logo for the entire Town. Read the entire Press Release here: https://www.townofmammothlakes
Hantavirus Hotspot, Prevention is key!
Hantavirus is a serious and often fatal illness spread primarily through contact with infected deer mouse droppings, urine, or saliva. Deer mice are widespread in the Eastern Sierra region. “Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is uncommon but extremely dangerous,” said Dr. Tom Boo, Mono County Health Officer. “We urge residents and visitors to pay attention to the presence of mice indoors and other enclosed spaces and take precautions to reduce the risk of infection, especially when cleaning up areas where rodent activity is present.”
Avoid sweeping droppings and wear protective gear, even in offices and businesses. Spread the word to keep others safe. If you’ve had rodent exposure and develop flu-like symptoms, seek medical care immediately.
Visit the Mono County Public Health website for additional information and download and share the Hantavirus prevention measures in English and Spanish. Hantavirus Community Health Conversation: Mono County, Inyo County and the Northern Inyo Healthcare District invite the public to a virtual Hantavirus awareness, prevention and protection conversation on Thursday, April 17 at 5:30pm. Visit www.NIH.org for additional information and to access the Zoom link.
