The City of Boca Raton is gearing up to celebrate a milestone anniversary with the introduction of a new centennial logo, signaling the start of an 18-month festivity period leading to its 100th birthday in 2025. According to an official announcement by city officials shared with BocaNewsNow.com, "The centennial logo is a vibrant design that represents 100 years of rich history, vibrant culture, and a strong community spirit." The logo, which echoes the city's growth and heritage, was made public on a noteworthy historical date, commemorating the 1924 vote on incorporation by Boca Raton's earliest residents.

The celebrations are set to include a variety of community events and activities to showcase Boca Raton's development and community life over the past century. Details on these events are to be announced in future months. As part of the centennial festivities, the City is also looking to creatively engage its residents by inviting them to write a personal "Ode to Boca" based on their zip code—a five-line poem reflecting their pride in the city, as per BocaMag.com.

Reflecting on the city's past and looking ahead to its future, the logo features the phrase "City of Boca Raton Centennial" adorned next to the number 100, with the zeroes interlinked akin to the Olympic rings, and the years marking the city’s incorporation displayed below. As detailed in a newsletter and reported by BocaMag.com, "This vibrant design represents 100 years of rich history, vibrant culture, and a strong community spirit."

The city has contracted Boca Raton-based agency Merit Mile for the centennial celebrations, agreeing to a $468,000 partnership to manage the events, which includes the creation of the new logo. Apart from the logo, another aspect of the centennial is a partnership with O, Miami, a nonprofit poetry organization, to launch an Ode to Boca project. This initiative will not only get residents to engage with their city's history but also to creatively contribute to its cultural narrative.
