Logo

BCC's logo was originally a shield, surrounded by pine branches, in front of an anchor, surmounted by a burning lamp, triagonalized, containing crossed sheaves of wheat, a plow, and something else. This was replaced at some time by a shield containing BCC's trademark trefoil-hexagon, surrounded with lines extending the pattern. A copy is on display in the Parker Center on the building's information / dedication plaque.
