Logo design for Forest Academy, an annual four-part field series led by Los Padres ForestWatch. They have partnered with trusted local experts to provide guided field experiences where participants can learn to observe, identify, and better understand the natural world. The theme for 2026 is Flora and Fauna, featuring Native Plants, Birds, Animal Tracking & S**t Watch, and Bats.
In the design, I chose to represent each topic, rather than a single image, to highlight the series aspect of this program. Illustrating the four icons with a consistency of style and similar amount of detail was essential for a cohesive design. This design can be altered each year to represent the Forest Academy’s new topics.
This year’s series has sold out, but more information is available here: ForestWatch.org/event/forest-academy-event-series
