The West Mid Show held a public poll to select a new look for this year's event and the winner is a brightly coloured emblem with traditional countryside images.
Show organisers are encouraging people to be more involved with the event - which this year attracted 43,000 people through the gates.
David Griffiths, chairman of the marketing committee, said: "We wanted to maintain the main theme of the show, which is the support and promotion of the rural economy, but to show a more modern image of agriculture and the wider economy.
"By having a logo of this type, it also enables us to redesign a lot of our leaflets to get more information on them and give more focus to actual events taking place at the show."
Mr Griffiths said that the new design went out to a public vote after the show committee had trouble choosing between them.
"By asking the public to choose, we thought we would have a logo that is attractive to the general public."
The winners of the competition are: Catherine Scott, of Oswestry; Mark and Sylvia Dodd, of Donnington, Telford; Miss L Street, of Ditherington, Shrewsbury; and Reg Jones, of Bayston Hill.
The winners will be contacted in due course
They will each receive family tickets to next year's show, which will be held on June 23 and 24.
