Westside : COASTAL VIEW

It is a classic Malibu vista: green mountains sloping into a deep blue sea with a yellow sun hanging in a pastel blue sky. The idyllic scene, representing the view along the coastline, was chosen this week by the Malibu City Council for the city’s official seal.

The design, conceived by a city engineering employee, will be featured on the city’s letterhead, municipal vehicles and signs. The seal reflects the charm of Malibu, officials said.

“If you drive on Pacific Coast Highway coming from Santa Monica, this is the view,” said Mark Lorimer, assistant city manager. “You see Point Dume sitting there in all of its glory.”. . .
