 Here's how the logo for the 2024 US Women's Open was designed
==========

The logo for the 2024 US Women's Open was designed to reflect the community of Lancaster County. The Lancaster Country Club, which will host the tournament, wanted a logo that represented the county. The logo features the red heraldic rose, inspired by the Red Rose of Lancashire in England, which is also seen frequently in Lancaster County. The design of the rose had been created by graphic designer Orla Duffy, who worked with the USGA design team to adapt it for the official logo. The logo is a three-color version with refined details on the outer edges of the rose.
