Contextual Information

There have been several versions of Shire crockery with different logos representing different eras of the Council. During the 1980s a different logo was adopted to reflect the history of Toodyay in the Shire's brand. The 'Yesterday to Today' logo design includes several of the historic buildings of Toodyay as well as livestock and the railway, reflecting the changing theme of the town from a historic place to one of development and industry. This design was replaced in 2007 when the 'Windmill' logo was adopted.
