A design submitted by Cloverleaf High School junior Elizabeth Crosby has been selected as the official logo for Seville’s 2016 bicentennial celebration.

“I was really inspired by the heritage and history of Seville – especially the importance of trains,” said Crosby, 16. She spent about three weeks working on the design, which features a steam locomotive, a church steeple and one of the village’s distinct downtown buildings.

Cloverleaf High School teacher Mollie Jarvis made the project into a business-world experience by inviting a member of the bicentennial committee to her Graphic Design I classroom to talk about Seville, present the plans for the community’s 200th birthday, and explain what they were looking for in a logo.

“It was a real-life example of the kind of work the students would be doing if they went into graphic design,” Jarvis said.

Seville business owner and committee chair Jane Webb said the group’s goal is to engage as many local people and organizations as possible in planning the event.

“The committee was very excited to involve Cloverleaf students with the bicentennial,” said Webb.

Crosby lives in Harrisville Township with her parents, Lynn and Everett. The third generation of her family to attend Cloverleaf, she participates in band, National Honor Society and IMPACT. Crosby hopes to study art in college and become a graphic designer.
