When tasked with creating a brand centered around a cause dear to my heart, I honed in on the crucial realm of outdoor safety. As an avid outdoors enthusiast, I've witnessed the unpreparedness of hikers on challenging trails first hand, and have strived to equip them with the knowledge and resources needed for their adventures. This has led me to consider; what could be a more valuable resource than an all-inclusive online platform?
Join your community in organizing local crag clean-ups, access trail conditions for your upcoming hikes, or master the art of packing for unforeseen outdoor challenges. Trail Keeper offers it all.
Drawing inspiration from established wilderness brands like Keep Nature Wild, United by Blue, and REI Co-Op, my aim was to create a brand that exudes warmth, approachability, and guides people seamlessly to the information they need.
The logo itself symbolizes a path, connecting 'T' to 'K,' and embodies nature with the evergreen tree. If this concept were to evolve into a fully operational entity, it would be adaptable, allowing the logo and iconography to change, representing various outdoor endeavors — from mountain peaks to ocean waves.
