New logo, new look!
A new logo for Can Do Bristol has been designed by Eight agency and will now start to be used in promotional material. We would like to thank community partners who have inputted from initial concepts to the final design.
We hope you agree it expresses the positive and various elements of Can Do as a digital platform supporting community action and connectivity in Bristol.
The strapline "Give, Live, Love Bristol" is also new. It was one of the suggestions given after we used the "ask for ideas" function to get members thoughts on how to express Can Do Bristol in a few catchy words. We posed a question and got some great suggestions which members then voted on. "Give, Live, Love Bristol" scored highest and was adopted.
