Logo Design: Paddlepass

As some of you may know, I work part-time as a graphic designer for the City of Ann Arbor's Parks and Recreation Department. I don't always have the opportunity or time to use a lot of illustration in this position, but this project was just begging for it. The director of the canoe liveries is involved in a new national program called Paddlepass, aimed at getting ninth graders interested and on the rivers. They needed a logo and I was thrilled to work on the project. Canoeing and kayaking hold a very special place in my heart: I went to summer camp for nine years as a kid and canoeing was my all-time number one favorite activity. I went on to be a counselor teaching canoeing for two years and later had the thrill and privilege of learning to kayak on the wild rivers of Australia.
