ST. LOUIS (Aug. 25, 2025) — The Gateway Arch will mark the 60th anniversary of its completion this October with weekend-long festivities and a new exhibit at the Museum in the Old Courthouse.

The exhibit will showcase how St. Louis-area businesses have incorporated the Arch into their branding over the past six decades, and Gateway Arch National Park is inviting local companies to submit Arch-inspired logos for consideration in the exhibit.

“The Gateway Arch means so much to so many people, and we’re excited to showcase how this iconic monument has inspired creative design across St. Louis and beyond,” said Jennifer Clark, museum curator at Gateway Arch National Park.

The exhibit aims to display the diverse ways businesses reflect the city’s identity and spirit through Arch-themed designs.

“Submissions are open to businesses of all sizes and industries,” said Clark. “We also encourage graphic designers and branding firms to submit logos they’ve created for clients.”

Participants must complete a short online form and upload a high-resolution version of their logo. Selected logos and stories will be featured in a public exhibit later this year. The submission deadline is Sept. 12.
