The new logo was launched on February 23 – the official date of Mount Isa’s 99th birthday – and the Council said it was designed with input from the entire community and strived to bring together the main characteristics of life at Mount Isaac. The logo features artwork by local Indigenous artist Glenda McCulloch depicting kangaroo tracks, a star, an Indigenous meeting place, and traditional Kalkadoon headwear. There are also depictions of Mount Isa’s skyline, including the foundry chimneys, fireworks, and surrounding natural landscape.
