Lanark school pupil designs winning logo for new Clydesdale project

A Lanark school pupil has successfully won an art competition after designing an appropriate logo for a new Clydesdale initiative.

Budding artist Rhianne Black submitted her drawing as part of a contest organised by NHS Lanarkshire’s Health Improvement Team and its supportive new project for local residents called, Clydesdale in Conversation (CLiC).

CLiC is aimed at adults living in Clydesdale and works with partners to link opportunities within the community and encourage local people to access early support, join in activity and connect with others. It also allows Health and Social Care staff to have regular and meaningful conversations with those who come along, and come up with strength based solutions together.

NHS Lanarkshire initially developed a conversation café to start good conversations, this was then supported by Healthy Valleys and its Place to Be Programme to continue the initiative. National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) enabled this approach, with three different communities in Clydesdale engaging so far.

Jane Kelly, health improvement team leader, NHS Lanarkshire, said: “The CLiC approach is based on having ”good conversations” with local people about what matters to them, and we wanted to reflect this in our branding, which Rhianne absolutely achieved.

“The idea behind the competition was to develop a logo that captured CLiC, whilst encouraging members of the community to get involved and hopefully have some fun sharing their ideas.

“We circulated the competition to our partners to reach local people who may wish to enter. Rhianne spotted the poster and put together an amazing submission. We then worked with South Lanarkshire Council graphics colleagues and Rhianne to develop her vision.

“The logo will be used to build our brand, which will focus on the CLiC work and capture the strong sense of community in Clydesdale.”

Maureen Dearie, Clydesdale locality manager, NHS Lanarkshire, added: “We’re delighted Rhianne spotted our poster and put together a fabulous logo, which we’re thrilled to use for CLiC!”
