“Water bacon” is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the City’s logo of blue and white horizontal wavy stripes that launched in the spring of 2018. The logo was commissioned by naturalist Dylan Radcliffe who created Water Bacon keychains and bookmarks in the same year.
“I’m totally overwhelmed. I don’t even think it’s sunk in but wow, so excited,” exclaimed Kevin. “When they changed the logo with ‘The Water Bacon,’ I thought, ‘Huh, you know? We need a character!’ so here I am.”
