The new Sea turtle Island exhibit was designed to look like a Caribbean boardwalk. I designed the interpretive signs to have the look and feel of 1940's travel posters.

The main tank held several species of fish and the idea was to design the species sign to look like the species ID charts commonly seen in scuba shops. I retained the vintage travel poster look that used on the other signs.

There were several faux shop fronts in the exhibit and I was asked to design store logos for each one. This logo was for the fake dive shop.

These logos were for the fake gift shop. The client chose "Salty Sally's Unique Boutique", which was also my favorite.
