Architect Dan Meis has lifted the lid on the thinking behind the logo for Everton’s new stadium and why he hopes that it will make it an iconic building.
Over six years have passed since Meis joined Everton club officials including owner Farhad Moshiri, chairman Bill Kenwright and chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale for a tour of two proposed stadium sites at Bramley-Moore Dock and Stonebridge Cross in Croxteth on October 14, 2016.
Even back then it was obvious that the majority of Evertonians – having had both the prospect of King’s Dock dangled under their noses and then the threat of heading outside the city boundaries to Kirkby in the 2000s – were determined to move to the banks of the ‘royal blue’ Mersey and just three weeks later, Moshiri declared that having “taken soundings from fans, in our mind, we know where we want to go. We are committed.”
