From this obituary in the Salt Lake Tribune :
({snip} by Monty)
Helen Alldredge, so humble and unassuming few knew this during her lifetime, was the woman who designed the CTR (Choose the Right) shield logo - a symbol pervasive in the LDS community; a sentiment to guide moral behavior.

Alldredge, whose favorite day was Sunday, even as a child, died on Sept. 28. She was 93.

While serving on the Primary General Board of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1960s, she helped come up with the phrase, “Choose the Right,” and write the original CTR lesson manual, a mainstay for children in the LDS Church. She was sitting in the living room of another committee member when she sketched - never an artist before or after - the CTR logo, now seen on everything from rings and balloons to stationery and T-shirts.
Wow. Who would have thought that living in SLC and following the local newspapers and TV, that the first place I would hear about this would be the SDMB?
Thanks, Monty .

Actually, I got the news in my daily e-mail from ldsdailynews@ldschurch.org . I think I enrolled with them from the belief.net website a few years ago.
