The Chicago Neighborhoods Logo Project

This looks like an interesting design project.  Creating logos for each of the 77 Chicago neighborhoods.  Edison Park has a logo for this project but Norwood Park, OHare, Big Oaks, Oriole Park, Wildwood and Edgebrook are missing...  Perhaps there is someone out there with an idea for a community logo?  If so contact the project director [click on link]

About This Project

Edison Park

Ozark, Overhill, Ottawa, Oleander, Oriole, Olmsted, Onarga, Oliphant, and so on. Just about every north-south and diagonal street in Edison Park begins with an "O," which came about in 1910 when the neighborhood was annexed into Chicago. Many of the newly annexed areas had streets that shared names with existing Chicago streets, so to solve this, the "new" streets on the north side of the city were renamed in mile-wide swatches of alphabetic letters. Doing so eliminated duplicate names and helped the post office sort mail. Edison Park, which is named for inventor Thomas Edison, inherited "O," and had many of it's streets named for Native American tribes (several of these were later "renamed to more manageable, spellable" words).
