Halo Burger and Mott Community College recently collaborated to offer a $1,000 scholarship as they both celebrate 100 years of serving Flint, MI. The winner of the $1,000 scholarship is Mott Community College student, Joseph Buffington of Flint. Social media followers of both brands had a chance to be a part of the voting process and Joseph’s design received the most votes. 

After students submitted their artwork for the design contest, Halo Burger showcased the designs to their social media followers. Halo Burger and Mott Community College’s online audience had the opportunity to cast their vote. Within a week, Halo Burger received well over a thousand votes. 

The design submitted by Joseph Buffington is inspired by Halo Burger’s cow roundel logo which has been with the brand since the 1960’s when Bill Thomas purchased two Kewpee locations and changed the name of the establishments from Kewpee Hotel Hamburgs to Bill Thomas’ Halo Burger. Halo Burger has a rich history in Flint, Michigan dating back to 1923 when they sold their first burger on Harrison Street out of a box-car style wagon. This logo is a symbol of the rich history that has made it with the brand into the twentieth century.
