Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa unveiled the winning design in the “Designed/Made in Los Angeles” garment hang tag logo competition at a press conference Monday at the Cooper Design Space downtown.

The winning design, created by Youth Monument’s Colby Long, depicts a hand holding a sewing needle surrounded by the words “Designed & Made in Los Angeles,” with the ampersand formed by a piece of thread.

The logo, one of 23 put up for a public vote Oct. 5 through 12, will be available to apparel and accessory firms headquartered within the city of Los Angeles to use on garment hang tags and websites.
