The winning entry is a logo design for the Bucks County Playhouse, one of America’s most-famous regional theaters. “The Imbue Creative team is delighted to be recognized by The Communicator Awards again this year,” said Michael Piperno, Principal and Creative Director of Imbue Creative. “We designed the logo to be a modern rendering of the original eighteenth-century gristmill, providing a fresh, new look while encompassing the attributes associated with the cherished landmark. The fact that it has been selected as an award-winning design by our peers is a true honor.”
“The Imbue team presented playhouse management with several logo options ranging from the very traditional to very contemporary,” said Britt Marden, Marketing Director of the Bucks County Playhouse. “We selected the modern rendering of the original structure because the architecture of the former gristmill evokes remembrances of the illustrious legacy and distinguished past—a history we want to embrace.”

About the Bucks County Playhouse
Located 90 minutes from New York City, the Bucks County Playhouse opened in 1939 on the site of a gristmill dating from the late eighteenth century. At that time the structure was in danger of demolition; however playwright Moss Hart and the local community rallied to save the building and re-opened it as a theatrical venue, which quickly became one of the country’s most-famous regional theaters, with a veritable who’s who of American theatrical royalty including Kim Hunter, Helen Hayes, Kitty Carlisle, Colleen Dewhurst, Shirley Booth, Lillian Gish, June Lockhart, Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, Bert Lahr, Leslie Nielsen and Walter Matthau. The playhouse remained in continuous operation until December 2010.
Thanks to the Bridge Street Foundation, the non-profit family foundation of Kevin and Sherri Daugherty with Tanya Cooper as President, this beloved theatrical landmark was re-opened and celebrated on July 2, 2012, exactly 73 years and a day from when it originally opened in 1939. The Bucks County Playhouse is located at 70 South Main Street in New Hope, PA.
