The City of Taylor has officially unveiled its commemorative logo in honor of the City’s Sesquicentennial in 2026. The new design celebrates 150 years of history while looking ahead to the city’s future.
Created by graphic artist Nick Ramos under the guidance of a working group of City Council and City leadership, the logo blends symbols of Taylor’s past and present with an eye on things to come.
"As the City of Taylor commemorates its 150th anniversary, cotton serves as a powerful symbol of its rich heritage—the driving force behind its early development and the arrival of the railroad," Ramos says. "Today, the railroad remains a vital part of the community as the burgeoning semiconductor industry paves the way for a new era of innovation and economic growth."
The design also features a pair "Easter eggs:” a small duck mid-flight within the cotton and the City's ZIP Code rendered in Morse code at the base of the semiconductor traces.
The Sesquicentennial logo will appear throughout 2026 on City banners, signage, vehicles, and digital platforms. Branded merchandise such as t-shirts, hats, and other collectibles will also feature the design.
Founded in 1876 as Taylorsville and renamed Taylor in 1892, the city became known as “the largest inland cotton market in the world.” The new logo honors that legacy while marking the beginning of Taylor’s next chapter.
Updates on the Sesquicentennial celebration will be available throughout the year at taylortx.gov/sesquicentennial.
