The Bumblebee

“What’s the buzz, tell me what’s happening? What’s the buzz, tell me what’ s happening?” Many more than several years ago, GCTC came up with a new logo. I call it the bumblebee—black, yellow, black, yellow. We all know it and recognize it. What is significant about the bumblebee is the contribution that one graphic designer by the name of Mark Taylor made to GCTC for well over a decade. When I started working at GCTC, someone suggested that I contact Mark. Mark was a graphic designer. We connected up. We chatted. Somehow Mark agreed to help GCTC out. He began by designing our season brochure, our play posters, our signage, our 20^th anniversary logo, and on and on and on. Even when Mark couldn’t help out, he put us on to Shelia Corbett, another graphic designer, who could. I can’t say that Mark received a lot in return, other than our heartfelt appreciation.
