A NEW version of Malvern Hills District Council's logo is set to be approved by the council's executive committee next week.

The existing logo has been in use since MHDC was first created in 1974, but a replacement was sought because the font does not always reproduce well, and it is not easy to read by those with sight problems.

The proposed new logo uses a different font and a more rounded design.

A report to be presented to next week's meeting says the new logo has been designed at minimum cost.

It will be implemented as existing stationery, publications and signage become due for replacement.
