1824 to present day - Celebrating 200 years
The logo, featuring colors of navy blue, gold, and gray, gives a nod to school colors prevalent in the Simpson County over the years.
“Mississippi” and “Simpson County” sit atop the primary visual element, the number “200”. Within one of the zeros in the “200” is an acorn, representing the acorn finial which crowns the Simpson County Courthouse. Underneath is “1824-2024” highlighting the years of the County’s existence.
The acorn was determined to be the obvious centerpiece for the Bicentennial logo when Rosalind Rhodes Lee, steering committee member and lifelong County resident, recommended the acorn as a key part of the logo, as it is easily identifiable, and representative of our past, present and future.
Lee also noted, the acorn is rich in symbolism and meaning and has a long and fascinating history. The small nut has been revered across cultures for its ability to sprout into a mighty oak tree. It is symbolic of new beginnings, strength, resilience, potential, growth, abundance, and good luck. She explained all of these qualities make it a powerful symbol to serve as inspiration for Simpson Countians, as we celebrate our Bicentennial.
