Bushmills To Receive New Logo

Another day’s meeting at the French Rooms brought us a little bit closer to designing the logo for the town of Bushmills. It’s been an ongoing task with varying opinions on what would best represent the town.

This time around I’ve decided (at least for now) to only illustrate what is given to me by the group as it seems they have a definite idea of what they want, and

really yet another cook would only spoil the broth. Initially I thought that a town logo that would tie in with the same style of work that I did and which will be present on the 3 orientation panels, tourist info indoor panel, and the newly updated brochure would work best, but with the group wanting a more simplified streamlined logo I entrust it to the group. Logo design is not something i am very familiar with, with my work being more illustrative and detailed compared to the very sparse abstract design that the group foresees for the town.

As always, it's great to meet up with the group and progress further with the project. Both panel and brochure work are coming along nicely and are nearing completion, with a few minor additions included in the map. I am of the belief that this is some of my best work to date, and i am glad it will be displayed in my home town.

I’ll be working on a Ballintoy map next for Art Ward through the Ballintoy Group (an official name will be included in my blogs as and when I get more info of course) but all in all a stretch of map that starts from Dunserverick Castle and runs across to Kenbane Castle will be underway soon. I feel this will be a really good follow-up to my Bushmills map, which, all being well, will be on display in Bushmills next year.
