Kelly Cannon-Miller, executive director of the Deschutes Historical Museum, talked about the Bend Emblem, which was created as the city logo 100 years ago by the Bend Emblem Club. Club members swore an oath to wear a pin emblazoned with the image until the town reached 100,000 inhabitants. They also employed creative marketing tactics to promote the city. In 2014, the population is nearly 80,000 and the logo shows up all over the city.
