Dunsmuir

Ever since I moved to Dunsmuir I have wanted to make a logo or an ad for the town. I still want to make a more complicated and detailed ad, but I have made a couple quick logos. I thought something simple would look the best. Dunsmuir is known for trains, clean water, and wildlife. These all are nice areas to explore in a design.

The add I want to make involves the downtown and one of the local waterfalls that draw people in from all over the state. I haven’t had any luck in getting it to look any good. Ideally I would love to be involved in some way to get more people to visit Dunsmuir and help make it an all around better place for locals and tourists.

So anyways, The first little logo that I came up with was a fish, since some of the best fishing in CALIFORNIA IS HERE IN DUNSMUIR.

I DON’T HATE OR LOVE THIS FISH, I GUESS IT WORKS, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING I REALLY DON’T CARE FOR. SO MOVING ON FROM FISH I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT OTHER WILDLIFE IN DUNSMUIR THAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT. OF COURSE, BEARS. IN MY TIME HERE I HAVE ONLY GOTTEN TO SEE A SINGLE BEAR, BUT IT WAS MAGICAL. SO FROM THE IDEA OF A BEAR, I WORKED UP A LITTLE BEAR VERSION OF THE ABOVE FISH!

I REALLY LIKE THIS BEAR ONE, I THINK IT WORKS MUCH BETTER THAN THE FISH DOES, AND IT IS MUCH MORE SIMPLE. THIS BEAR REMINDS ME OF THE ONE I SAW, EXCEPT IT WASN’T LOOKING FOR MY TRASH CAN.

I THINK WITH THE SUMMER COMING ON I WILL HAVE MORE INSPIRATION TO MAKE A FULL ON AD FOR DUNSMUIR, THE TOWN REALLY LIGHTENS UP AND COMES ALIVE WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE. THERE IS SO MUCH TO APPRECIATE ABOUT GETTING TO LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL AREA OF THE WORLD, I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONVEY THAT TO SOME OF YALL.
