The MCHS needed a new logo or just really any logo and we put together some ideas. One using the outline of the county and it\u2019s landscape details: the prairie, the railroad, the lake. And one using the courthouse (chosen concept). The courthouse was based off an old postcard the client sent us. After some tweaks, we turned over the art to be used as signage for the center. The challenge with this project was to balance out the client&#8217;s requests while keeping it under the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
