New logo revealed for Street Thursday Market after community competition

STREET’S Thursday Market has a new logo after the winner of a community competition was unveiled.

The winning design was selected from entries in a contest for a new logo run by Street Parish Council.

Entrants were urged to create a design to “capture the essence of Street; its rich character, community spirit, and the bustling weekly market that brings residents, businesses, and visitors together”.

The winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous to keep the focus on the market, said: “As a local educational professional living in Street, I’ve long held a passion for seeing our village grow and flourish.

“The weekly market is more than just a place to shop; it’s a cornerstone of community life. It’s where neighbours meet, local businesses thrive, and visitors get a true taste of what makes Street so special.”

It draws inspiration from recognisable landmarks around the village, including the iconic clock, and the hanging baskets lining the streets.

The council said the design “truly captures the village’s unique identity so that it’s instantly familiar and personal to residents”.

“The logo isn’t just a graphic, it’s a symbol of pride, character and community,” the winning designer added. “I hope this new design says, ‘This is Street’, and invites everyone to recognise its charm and feel part of its story.”

Street Thursday Market was taken on by Street Parish Council in April as part of the devolution process from Somerset Council.

“The market’s success depends on all of us,” the designer added. “A thriving market brings economic benefits, social connection, and a sense of place.

“Let’s make sure this new logo becomes a beacon for community engagement and increased footfall. Because when the market thrives, Street thrives — and that’s something we can all be proud of.”
