Brief History

bluestone was launched in the spring of 2014 with a core group of public relations majors eager to build the University’s first student-run firm and public relations practicum. Led by Dr. Randahl Morris, the inaugural group of students designed the entire look and feel of the brand. As they researched the University’s history, the students discovered Creek Indian Chief William McIntosh and the McIntosh Stone, which served as the official West Georgia College logo from 1980-1997. The stone, made of granite, was once used to hoist visitors onto their horses after leaving a stay with McIntosh. Its inspiring history led the bluestone team to designate the stone as an integral part of the firm’s name and its charge to elevate brands and cultivate forward-thinking.
