AIGA Las Vegas Work Show X – Silver Award Logo Design
The Neon Museum logo gave me the opportunity to design for a national call for logo design entries. The design was picked as the winner for the Neon Museum Las Vegas, and is used on all of their branding. The logo represents the distinctive lines from the architecture of The Concha, designed by Paul Revere Williams. This establishment once resided on Las Vegas Blvd, next to the Riviera Hotel and Casino and is now refurbished and used at the visitor’s center, which is also know as the Neon Museum Boneyard.
This design also won a silver medal for Logo Design with the Las Vegas AIGA chapter, in the Work Show X.
