Title: Crests and shields for National Parks
Post by: wolfiefrick on February 08, 2016, 12:36:02 PM
I'm currently trying to create shields and crests for all 58 of the National Parks in the United States. Here's one that I drew up for Yosemite National Park in Illustrator. I'd love to see some designs from all of you for some others!

Hopefully the Park Service doesn't have to change all the names (http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2016/01/15/yosemite-famed-sites-forced-to-change-names-due-to-trademark-dispute/) before you're finished.

The parks, most of them at least, already have logos based on famous natural features within the park.  Like Yosemite's Half Dome logo.

Yes, I'm aware, but this was a project to make them all look a little more uniform. I'd like to create logos for all of them that follow the same design principles that were shown in the Yosemite crest I designed.

Maybe use different shields for different parks. For example if an NF route runs through Yellowstone National Park, then put in a (simplified) design of some famous landmark such as Ol' Faithful. I'd do the same for the entrances and exits.

Yeah, I could work on that.
