The Miami Township Board of Trustees held a work session on Sept. 14, where new designs on branding the township were shown off. Jeff Wright, township ad- ministrator, gave an update on the branding, which has long been in the making, for a replacement design on the state Route 28 overpass over Interstate 275. The Board asked the design company, Barge Design, to produce color renderings of what the end product would look like for the two con- cepts preferred by the board (out of four proposed), ac- cording to Wright's memo:

PHOTOS / PROVIDED Pictured are the two concepts, B and D, for the new design on the state Route 28 overpass over Interstate 275.
