New Logo for Our Web Site


Some concerns were expressed regarding the use of a modified version of the logo of Heritage Village Recreation Club (see our first post) . It was intended to reflect the Village content but not to claim "official status" or put burden of responsibility on the Club. A new logo has been designed which could be used in the future for both the Web site and the Community Wifi portal.

For 20 years, the signage at Heritage Village has displayed a galloping horse. Some say it is a rocking horse, some say it gallops on a meadow. Our project for a Web Site and Community Wifi wants the old horse to take flight, into cyberspace to lift our spirits.

Pegasus is the flying horse from Greek mythology, symbolic of knowledge and inspiration. According to legend, the birth of both wine and art occured when Pegasus' hooves unleased the sacred Spring of the Muses. Today he can be seen in the sky as the star constellation Pegasus, and is still the symbol for immortality of the soul.

For Heritage Village residents who feel that a rocking horse is more appropriate for a retirement community, our new logo is also a "rocking horse-fly". Alice met such a mythical creature when she went Through the Looking-Glass. We want to inspire more Seniors to seek the Looking-Glass of their computers, and see the new world of the Internet.
