Emerald Bay AlumniLogo Design Contest

The Emerald Bay Alumni is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide Camp Emerald Bay (a Boy Scout camp on Catalina Island, California) with volunteer, material, and financial support through the fellowship of current and former staff, campers, and friends of the camp.

Emerald Bay is probably NOT what you may envision when you think of a "traditional" boy scout camp. We are more liberal, irreverent, and mischievous than, well, pretty much any other boy scout camp!

We don't have a specific color palette in mind, but don't want the logo to be black & white, either. Some color would be good...

One of the unique elements that the alumni all share is a very close bond from working and living together on the island. Many of the staff form lifelong friendships from their summer experiences. Working at Emerald Bay is life-changing, and is carried with us the rest of our lives.

The camp has a long history of PIRATE and NAUTICAL imagery. The camp staff patches and neckerchiefs usually include a pirate image. We would like to continue this tradition, and honor our heritage, while providing an "updated' pirate along those lines.

IMPORTANT! Please visit our "Museum" online at:
http://www.emeraldbayalumni.org/eba.php?p=museum --- Be sure to check out the neckerchiefs and patches. This should give you an idea of the historical imagery we are working with and foundation upon which we must build.

We want our new logo to be consistent with our former designs but it definitely needs to be updated!
