"As part of a new push to spur economic development and raise the general profile of the township, Cherry Hill Council is contemplating a new marketing campaign. The effort, called 'branding,' will include a new logo, which features a minimalist sketch of a cherry around the words 'Cherry Hill' in modern typeface, and 'Township' in a font that evokes Colonial handwriting. Below it is the township's new slogan: 'You couldn't pick a better place.'"
