Kaitlyn Zumbach, of Millington, wins $1K scholarship for designing new Graff Chevrolet logo

2013 Nov 21

A Saginaw Valley State University student from Millington earned a $1,000 scholarship and will see her artwork featured next year in Graff Chevrolet advertisements.

Kaitlyn Zumbach designed a logo that will commemorate the car dealership's 100th year in 2014. The effort was part of a contest that attracted 200 submissions from high school and college students across Michigan and Ohio.

"I was pretty surprised," Zumbach, a graphic design major, said about learning of the achievement. "I didn't expect to win at all."

Her work next year will appear on TV and newspaper ads, billboards and letterheads for Graff Chevrolet, which includes eight locations across Michigan and Ohio.

"This is exciting for us," dealership owner Chris Graff said at a Nov. 20 ceremony unveiling the anniversary logo. "There was a lot of tough competition for this."

Zumbach is among some 260 art majors attending SVSU this fall.
