A state agency, the RIHPHC is the leading institution for preservation in the state. Its iconic headquarters in the Old State House on Benefit St was the focus of the old logo, and needed to remain the focus. The logo had to also look official, with some pomp and circumstance to it. In the end, we simplified the rendering, came up with an accurate but reproducable color scheme, and ringed it with 13 stars, similar to the RI Flag.
