Logo Design Challenge
Clothing Brand: Pink Flamingo - I wanted to create something that accentuated Miami's love for Flamingos. I wanted it to be a cool trendy, hippy logo.
While creating this logo, I actually researched if flamingos were truly native to Florida. So, I wanted to share some of what I learned with you all: “So through the 1800s, there were large flocks of flamingos in far southern Florida. But people were eating them for food. And later were hunting them for feathers to adorn fancy hats, and by around 1900, the flamingos had been totally wiped out in South Florida. However, in the late 1920s, early 1930s, wealthy people moved down to Florida and started in some cases importing flamingos to live in their wealthy estates. So flamingos were established as captive animals in Florida, and since then, it's always been unclear whether flamingos that people do see around Florida are the last surviving flamingos or whether they’re escapes from captive colonies.” - wbur
Well that was interesting to learn...not shocking, but interesting.
