North Dakota Senate kills bill for logo redesign

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Senate doesn’t want to hold a contest for a replacement state logo.

The Senate killed the bill 40-7 on Wednesday.

The bill sailed through the House last month after lawmakers learned a new “Be Legendary” logo was awarded to a Minnesota firm.

The business was awarded the $9,500 job without competition because it came in below the $10,000 threshold required for additional bids.

The winner of the new competition would have been paid $9,500.
