BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota has new signs welcoming people to the state.

The design features the new state logo and includes the first photo background used on a North Dakota welcome sign.

The photo is a Badlands scene taken at Wind Canyon in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Dakota Fence Co. was awarded a $28,900 state contract for the sign effort. The money is coming from the transportation department’s existing budget.

The first sign was replaced Wednesday on Interstate 94 at the Montana border near Beach.
