Logo:
The design consists of a logotype made up of three identical circle shapes. Each circle is bisected with 30% of its form removed; all three have a hollowed-out middle.
One of the circles is centred above the other two. The overall shape of the logo represents the initial letters of the Council’s title: S, C and C.
