Banners
Banners have gone up around town and the designs relate to life in Urbandale. The recently constructed monument signs at the intersection of Douglas Ave. and I-35/80 have eight stones that represent Urbandale. The imagery from these stones is used as a visual bridge and cohesive identity for the banners around town. The banners include stylized images of clock from Downtown Urbandale, a water tower at Living History Farms, a historic streetcar, and representations of nature, technology, recreation, industry, and partnerships.
