The design element is a graphic placed above the lettering, which features a solid, circular shape with spiky protrusions on its right edge, resembling a cedar leaf. Enclosed within this shape is a white, sail-like figure with a curved base that follows the contour of the lettering below. The entire mark is presented in black and white.
Underneath “Cedar Lake” is the tagline “Explore Everyday” in a smaller, lowercase, sans-serif font. The tagline is enclosed by two horizontal lines (em dashes). The trademark symbol ™ appears in superscript immediately following the word “everyday”.
Color
The Town of Cedar Lake Logo consists of a design element positioned above the literal elements “Cedar Lake” and the tagline “Explore Everyday”.

Layered in front of it are two smaller, stylized sails, one in red and one in orange. A light blue, wavy line, representing water, crosses the lower portion of the sails. In the upper right of the design is a partial sun in shades of yellow and gold, with distinct rays extending outward.
Below the design are the words “Cedar Lake” in a large, flowing, cursive script. The color of the lettering is the same dark brown as the largest sail shape.
