MEC Announces 80th Anniversary Logo

Earlier this year, in Mohave Electric Cooperative’s (MEC) March Currents magazine, CEO Tyler Carlson announced the official 80th Logo Art Contest.

Every milestone year, we have a special logo created to commemorate the achievement.

Mohave Electric Cooperative has been proudly serving you with safe, reliable, and affordable power for 79 years. And as a member-owned, not-for-profit distribution utility, we wanted you as owners to participate directly in the logo process. We accepted entries through June 2025.

We must give credit where credit is due! We were thrilled with the engagement from members, from how many members submitted logos, to the talent and creativity of the numerous designs! We literally chuckled that if we had the

budget to hire a graphics position, we’d hope some of you would apply – that’s the testament to how truly good the logos were and how incredibly difficult it was to select the official winner!

At our Annual Meeting in September, CEO Tyler Carlson announced Matt Miller as the official winner of the 80th Logo Contest and presented him with a $100 check award and lots of bragging rights!

We are debuting the 80th logo here, so all members can expect to see the logo on all MEC’s content throughout 2026.

We also wanted to give kudos to the 13 logos that made the semifinals. They were all very good in different ways! At MEC, we – staff, management, and our board members – all enjoyed reviewing the entries. If MEC has any future contests, we encourage you to participate again! Thank you, members, for helping us celebrate this milestone with your hard work on this project and for creating a successful design for our 80th year.
