WE HAVE A NEW LOGO!!!
Ayla’s Acres collaborated for months with faculty and students at Flagler College to develop a new logo and tagline for its rescue operations.
After lots of meetings, ideas, and conversations we chose a classic, friendly passenger van with lots of windows. Flagler student Sierra Van Natter designed it. We see a classic front view with animals—horse, chicken, dog, and cat—on their way to safety and security. (Yes, we know they wouldn’t all really fit!)
“I feel that the final design incorporates all aspects and changes that the organization wanted to make to their logo,” Sierra said. We love it and we believe that you will too!
We’re getting all A’s! Ayla’s Acres’ name has always had the first letter of the alphabet, repeated. That’s how we rolled with our new slogan as well: AID. ADOPT. ADVOCATE.
Those three words capture our primary goals, commitments, and services to animals and to the community. Thanks to the Flagler College
Graphic Design Program for summarizing our mission so clearly.
THE THRIFTIQUE IS MOVING IN APRIL
Trucks are rolling and we’re on our way! Ayla’s Acres Awesome Volunteers are relocating the Ayla’s Acres Thriftique. It is 1.7 miles from the current King Street location, just across the Bridge of Lions at 409-413 Anastasia Boulevard/A1A South. Mellow Mushroom, a familiar landmark, is right across the street. The store will be easy to spot in the warm yellow building with white trim and lots of windows.
Ayla’s Acres Thriftique will combine its showroom with adjacent warehouse space. That means that if a customer wants that perfect thing that’s not on the showroom floor, one of our volunteers can check if it is available in the warehouse and retrieve it right away. We can’t wait to
serve our loyal customers—and our new customers—at this great new location!
The new site will open at the end of April. Stay tuned for the exact opening date by following us on Facebook and Instagram (links below).
