## The seal

The Great Seal of the Village of New Haven was designed and adopted during a contest in 1973, and was designed by resident Cathy Singleton.
Here's the symbolism taken from a section of a newsclip in the document,
"Her design featured the white and black hands firmly clasping each other plus the symbols of commerce and the slogans "pride and peace of our people" and "the enlightened truth for the common good." Symbols included a sunrise, a cross for the churches in the village, a scroll for education, a wheel for industry, a truck for transportation, a plow for farming, and a star for civic leadership."
