Designed to complement the recently implemented city of Covington logo, the city’s utility department has begun utilizing its own insignia. The move to add a logo and feature the water, natural gas and electric departments is intended to aid in securing the utility service contracts of companies considering Covington as a location for their business.

Before approving the implementation of the additional logo, the City Council wanted to ensure customers did not think the city of Covington had sold their services to another provider.

The design team was tasked with creating an emblem similar to the current city of Covington logo while still allowing Covington Utilities to stand on its own. A design was decided upon that maintained the original three box concept but the boxes were inverted and now fit like puzzle pieces. The colors of the utility and city logo remain the same and the three symbols in the city logo were replaced with a natural gas flame, a water drop and a lightning bolt.
