Delaware Humanities unveils new brand logo, website

Staff Writer July 18, 2022Culture, Headlines

Delaware Humanities new website and logo

Delaware Humanities, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, has revealed a new brand identity, including an updated logo and website.

The state humanities council works to provide grant funding to Delaware-based nonprofits and community groups that are engaged in humanities-centered work.

Recently funded projects include the “Bent, But Not Broken” music conference showcased by the Choir School of Delaware, the annual Wilmington Writers Conference, and the History Book Festival in Lewes.

In addition to offering grant funding, Delaware Humanities hosts free public programs throughout the state and in partnership with several other organizations.

Free books are provided to participants of the seasonal book club, and the Speakers program has sent experts to present on topics ranging from historical underwear to folk art at nearly every library in the state.

Other popular events include the environmental humanities programming, which offers free guided hikes, sustainability education, and a variety of other outdoor activities designed to help people become familiar with Delaware’s natural landscape.

An upcoming series of nature walks in August will teach participants about the different medicinal values of local plants in all three counties.

The new brand identity is part of a strategic planning process that outlines new directions for the organization.

Moving forward, programs and projects conducted by Delaware Humanities will align with four major themes: Health & Environment, Culture & Community, Media & Democracy, and Stories & Histories.

Delaware Humanities Old Logo vs. New Logo

“Our new logo and website emphasize the collaborative nature of the work we do,” said Delaware Humanities executive director Michele Anstine in a press release. “Our mission is to strengthen our communities by encouraging all Delawareans to be inspired, informed, and engaged through exploring the diversity of human experience.”

Anstine said the organization has been working hard throughout the past few years to bridge gaps, increase access and better serve communities in Delaware that have historically been under-resourced.

“Were committed to continuing those efforts in the years to come,” she said.

Alongside the new branding, the organization also recently announced new grant types available to local and state nonprofits and organizations.

Those interested in applying for grant funding should visit dehumanities.org/grants to learn more about deadlines and requirements.

      The Delaware State Police announced the promotion of Captain J. Andrew Lloyd to the rank of Major, which went into effect on June 27, 2025. Major Lloyd now serves as the New Castle County Operations Officer, bringing over two decades of law enforcement experience to his new leadership role. “This will continue to strengthen the Delaware State Police,” said Colonel William D. Crotty, Superintendent of the Delaware State Police.  Major Lloyd began his career as a patrol trooper at Troops 6 and 7 and was later promoted to Sergeant at Troop 9. He went on to supervise the Criminal Investigations Unit at Troop 2, overseeing both the Drug Unit and the Property Crimes Unit. His work included a high-profile joint investigation with the New Castle County Police Department, Wilmington Police Department, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. That investigation led to the disruption of one of Delaware’s largest heroin distribution networks. He also led investigations into firearms and racketeering crimes, collaborated with federal partners, and was recognized as an expert in Superior Court. In 2019, Lloyd became a Lieutenant at Troop 9, where he led 35 sworn troopers and civilian staff while working closely with government agencies and civic groups. That same year, he received international recognition with the 2019 IACP 40 Under 40 award, honoring him as one of the world’s top law enforcement leaders under the age of 40. RELATED STORY: Delaware State Police Major Peter Sawyer retires after more than 30 years of service From 2021 to 2024, Lloyd served as Director of the State Bureau of Identification. During his tenure, he modernized background checks, enhanced fingerprint digitization, negotiated key contracts, and strengthened Delaware’s participation in the National Fingerprint File. He also led the division’s largest civilian workforce and supported public security legislation. Most recently, Lloyd commanded nearly 100 troopers and civilian staff as the Commander of Troop 3. Under his leadership, the troop expanded its proactive enforcement efforts and enhanced community partnerships to support crime-reduction initiatives. He also managed the Delaware State Police’s operational response to major events, including NASCAR and the Phish Festival, and oversaw the implementation of a high-risk violent offender program. Lloyd holds both a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Wilmington University, with a graduate specialization in Homeland Security. He is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy Session 289. Beyond his law enforcement duties, Major Lloyd has volunteered for over a decade as a youth basketball, softball, and Little League coach. He continues to support Special Olympics Delaware and has served on several DSP committees, including as Chair of the Wellness Committee and Co-Chair of the Events Committee for the agency’s 100th Anniversary Planning Committee. The Delaware State Police congratulated Major Lloyd on the promotion in a statement: “Delaware State Police congratulates Andrew Lloyd for this well-deserved promotion. We look forward to seeing him continue to serve the Delaware people.”
