BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — It’s bold yet refined, arguably the perfect way to describe Boca Raton and the look for the new logo celebrating the city’s centennial. The logo, displayed above, was just unveiled. It will be seen quite a bit over the next eighteen months as the City celebrates 100 years of history.
City of Boca Raton officials shared with BocaNewsNow.com this official announcement released on Monday:
The City is thrilled to unveil a special logo for Boca Raton’s upcoming Centennial Celebration in 2025. The centennial logo is a vibrant design that represents 100 years of rich history, vibrant culture, and a strong community spirit. Residents and visitors can look forward to seeing the logo incorporated into all centennial-related events and materials as the City celebrates the past, present, and future of Boca Raton starting in January 2025.
Today’s launch of the centennial logo coincides with a significant date in the City’s history, when in 1924, 34 of 100 total Boca Raton residents voted on the incorporation of “Boca Ratone” as a town—30 voted in favor, while 4 voted against. The City reincorporated as the Town of Boca Raton the following year on May 26, 1925.
Throughout 2025, the City’s Centennial Celebrations will include a series of events and activities designed to engage the community and showcase Boca Raton’s heritage and growth. Details of these events will be announced in the coming months.
As part of the centennial festivities, the City is inviting all Boca Ratonians to pen a personal “Ode to Boca” based on their zip code. Participants will write a five-line poem, with each line containing the number of words designated by their zip code numbers. These odes will form a collection of City pride poems to be highlighted throughout the centennial year.

The money this city spends for the cheesiest marketing (case in point, downtown)… and this logo is rather, suggestive? An FAU student could design something better. One thing’s for sure, the last twenty-five years has been downhill. Not even remotely the same place when Big Blue was here, Town Center was more like The Gardens Mall than Aventura, and of course… no plastic Karens decked out in athleisure with their labradoodles at Publix.
Why are you representing the gay pride community with those multi colors.
I love that the city chose to work with a local business for this! The bright colors are refreshing and inspiring. “Bold yet refined”; perfect for Boca. Excited to see what else they create for the centennial celebrations
Why is it so gay??? Looks a Wilton Manors city symbol
