Taylorsville City has a new logo for the first time since the community became incorporated as a city a dozen years ago. The new logo design has a distinctly collegiate look and feel to reflect the city’s largest institution, Salt Lake Community College. SLCC’s main campus—located in Taylorsville city—employs more than 1,000 full time employees and is home to more than 17,000 students. “We love having Salt Lake Community College in our city,” Taylorsville City Mayor Russ Wall said. “The College is a great asset to our city and this community.”
The design uses a blue and tan color scheme that is similar to SLCC’s, and uses the letter ‘T’ superimposed over the letter ‘C’ in a font and style that harks back to an old version of the College’s when it was called Utah Technical College. Taylorsville’s new logo replaces a previous logo that was shaped like a wagon-wheel symbol.
"As we sat down with designers, we talked about what makes our city unique,” Taylorsville city spokesperson Aimee Newton said. “We have a long history of excellence in athletics—especially baseball. We want to promote a healthy, athletic lifestyle in our citizens. And, of course, we’re really proud of being home to SLCC’s main campus. And we came up with a logo that has that athletic, collegiate feel.”
Beyond the new logo, Taylorsville city has taken numerous steps to promote a healthy lifestyle among its citizenry; a ‘Healthy Taylorsville’ committee regularly meets to incorporate novel solutions that make residents healthier including bolstering recreation centers and adding bike lanes.

One of Utah's newest cities, the area has a rich history reaching back to 1848 when pioneers Joseph and Susanna Harker crossed over the Jordan River and founded the Taylorsville-Bennion areas.
