Tracing MSS History Through Its Dynamic Logos

 

2024 marks an incredible 75 years since the founding of our agency. As part of our celebration of this community's past, present, and future, we'll be sharing highlights from our unique history each month.

MSS has undergone significant changes through the years, evolving with the times to better serve our staff and the people in our programs. The evolution of our logo is a picture-perfect example of our adaptability to the many changes that 75 years in business bring.

From the original UCP logo symbolizing our foundational roots, to the block-letter boldness of the Midwest Special Services logo, to the iconic suspension bridge logo that marked a new era of possibility, MSS has continually redefined its visual identity. Today's MSS logo, recognized and loved by many, captures the modern spirit of our organization in its commitment to inclusion, service, and community.

These visual changes are more than mere branding updates. In its own distinct way, each logo marks a milestone in MSS history, reflecting our dynamic approach to meeting the needs of the community we support. From one logo to the next, we are reminded of MSS's dedication to adopting new ideas, methodologies, and technologies to best support the people in our programs.


We will be holding our 75th anniversary celebration on Thursday, July 25th at Mendakota Country Club. Mark your calendars!
