New Logo Designed by David Turner
While updating the logo for our 20th Anniversary in 2023, David Turner quickly sketched a draft logo during a board meeting.
“We are so fortunate to have David Turner, an incredibly talented artist, on our board! He generously agreed to design a new logo for the Virginia Eastern Shore Land Trust, one that visually incorporates the elements of our mission statement. I love the way David describes the new logo, saying he just made it a little ‘warmer,’” said Susan Harris, VES Land Trust Board President.
The sketch, which became the new logo with the help of Karen Parker at Waterford Printing, added trees native to the Eastern Shore; refined the landscape to show farmland, a vegetated buffer, and a waterway; and replaced the structures with a home and barn. The logo looks very similar to the original but is truer to the Eastern Shore and the protected lands VES Land Trust works with.
“Our revised logo more clearly represents our mission of protecting property by highlighting features such as agriculture, habitation, waterways, wetlands, buffer strips, trees and shrubs. We especially want to emphasize the beauty and benefits of our easement donors living on and with the land,” said David Turner.
