2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention Logo Designs | Part 2

05 October 2014

The concept of using a Sacramento sculpture to anchor the design is the theme here. Here are some new, rough, low-res, round 2 logo concepts for the 2016 Sacramento National Antique Bottle Convention. These concepts revolve around a well-known Sacramento Pony Express sculpture. The last stop for the Pony Express was Sacramento. See Part 1 Logo Concepts. Let me know what you think. fmeyer@fohbc.org

There was a suggestion to use the famous kneeling Gold Miner sculpture in Auburn as a reference (see upper left). The 49er Historical Bottle Club is very effectively using the gold miner concept (Upper right) and actually won First Place at the 2013 Lexington National for their show flyer with this image. Let us let them have this glory and not try to use the same idea, not to mention, let’s try to use a sculpture from Sacramento.

Concept A – Pony Express

Concept B – Pony Express

Concept C – Pony Express

Concept D – Pony Express

I like both concept A and D. The sculpture gives “the trail ends here” kind of a theme.
