The Logomark

Every adventure at schweitzer begins in this location, so the mark is universal to the many types of people that gather to enjoy the landscape. The use of topography speaks to the adventurer and outdoorsman in all those who look out at the view from the peak.

The Visual Identity
A strong logo is not enough to carry a brand, so the entire identity of schweitzer needed to be considered to reflect it's community. The new visual identity of the brand is based off the visual motif of trail maps. By breaking down trail maps into a kit of their parts, the brand was able to be built based on color, marks, typography, layout, and treatment.
Applications
After developing the logo, brand values, and identity, it was important to see how these new elements would physically manifest itself into different brand applications.
