Design 1: In this design, each village is a different species of flower in a garden and signs list the name of each village. Each village is colorful in a unique way just as the flowers are. This design shows how the differences of Newton's residents complement each other to create a beautiful city, just as the contrasting shapes and colors of flowers create a lively garden.

Design 2: This design highlights the Newton Free Library and City Hall, two of our city's most important buildings. City Hall is a center of government and decision-making while the library is representative of knowledge and investment in education. The houses in the front row emphasize that Newton's residents are what make the city great and support the institutions represented by the other buildings.

Design 3: This design shows a group of children (middle school age) playing in a field. In the background, there are fruit trees which one of the children has taken a pear from. Many people, including my parents, chose to move to Newton for the safety and education of their children. Therefore, this design highlights the importance of children and younger generations in Newton.
