Kolt Codner, who designed the 2011 First Night Youngstown button, said he wanted to capture the “vibrancy of downtown” by using a building skyline illuminated with fireworks as the event’s symbol. The First Night Youngstown committee unveiled the 2011 button design Thursday at its headquarters in City Centre One, 100 Federal Plaza.

The button, which is used as the admission ticket for the New Year’s Eve event, features buildings on Woodland Avenue with fireworks.

Codner, who works on capital-improvement projects in the city Public Works

Department, said he has done various graphic designs.
