Heritage Tale Logo Development – Phase 2

Here’s our second shot at a Heritage Tale logo. I really love this one. The globe and the book together really say “Heritage Tale” to me. I also love the way Joey (the artist) put the entire image on what looks like a famliy crest. To me, Heritage Tales is definitely about family. We still have some more tweaking to do, but I’m feeling like this logo is on the right track.

Heritage Tale books bring immigration stories to juvenile readers. Each fully-illustrated, full-color book helps children connect with their cultural roots through the use of myth, legend, and fairy tale.

Heritage Tale Logo Development – Phase 1

Joey and I have been working on the design of the Heritage Tale logo. Here’s our first draft. The tree is supposed to bring to mind “family tree,” since many of the Heritage Tale stories will be family stories. The globe is supposed to bring the ideas of  ”multiculturalism” that we see in America. I love the artwork, but I’m not sure it captures the idea of Heritage Tales the way I envisioned it would.
