Possible directions for this logo include the natural elements surrounding Tsal’alh, such as mountains, water, or wind.

Logos are better thought of as simple illustrations. Designing for logos is much like designing for fabric work like appliqué.

Call  for  New  Logo  Concepts    

 Page  1/2

Do  you  want  to  be  the  creator  for  our  new  logo?  

We’re  working  to  create  a  new  and  professional  look  for  Tsal’alh.  Part  of  this  is  developing  a  new  logo  that  will  be  used  on  all  future  materials  for  Tsal’alh,  Skil  Mountain  School,  the  Rose  Casper  Healing  Centre,  and  Tsal’alh  Development  Corporation  (TDC).  

Tsal’alh  Chief  and  Council  and  have  decided  that  they’d  like  to  work  with  an  artist  from  the  community  to  develop  a  logo  that  really  represents  Tsal’alh.  Possible  directions  for  this  logo  include  the  natural  elements  surrounding  Tsal’alh,  such  as  mountains,  water,  or  wind.  Other  potential  logo  ideas  include  wildlife  that  call  the  area  home,  including  the  mountain  goat,  black  bear,  deer,  Blue  Heron,  or  crane.  

This  document  provides  some  instructions  and  guidelines  for  the  logo.  If  you  have  any  questions,  please  contact  [email protected]  

A  logo  must  be:  

• Very  simple  so  it  can  work  at  any  size  and  is  easy  to  recognize  • Feature  bold  lines  so  it  can  be  shrunk  down,  embroidered,  and  reproduced  effectively  • Be  able  to  work  in  multiple  colours  or  only  one  colour  

This  logo  must  be:  

• Modern  looking  • Rooted  in  tradition  • Drawn  from  our  culture  

Logos  are  different  from  artwork  because  they  must  serve  a  very  specific  purpose.  Logos  are  better  thought  of  as  simple  illustrations.  Designing  for  logos  is  much  like  designing  for  fabric  work  like  appliqué.  

As  part  of  the  process  you,  the  artist,  would  work  with  our  team  of  designers  to  perfect  the  logo  illustration  and  make  sure  it  works  in  every  case.  

On  the  next  page,  we’ll  provide  some  logo  examples  and  some  direction  for  sketches.
