Jefferson Journeys is a new tourism and events management company serving Jefferson County, West Virginia. Our firm specializes in the creation and execution of tourism events and products that reflect the natural and cultural assets the community has to offer visitors. Our focus is on experiences that reflect our authenticity, hospitality and quality.
We would like a vintage travel poster feel for our logo and want to use the colors found in nature and throughout our historic downtowns. Our region is known for the rolling hills of the Appalachian Mountains, the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers and historic quaint towns such as Shepherdstown, Charles Town and Harpers Ferry. Ideally, we would like to have a scene in the logo that goes from a nature scene into an idyllic downtown, possibly with hikers or cyclists. We are open to other alternatives, but any logo submitted should capture the essence of Jefferson County.

Requirements
Must have
- A mixture of natural and architectural elements that reflect the history, nature and culture of the Jefferson County, West Virginia Region. This may include mountains, rivers, farming, horses, historic buildings, and anything related to the heritage of the area. We are open to interpretation, but the logo must not be generic,and the ideal logo would have its influence in an actual scene that could be found in Jefferson County
If you are unfamiliar with Jefferson County, here are some search terms you can use to look for pictures of the region:

Would prefer the design have a color and an all black version.
Nice to have
- Classic design reminiscent of a vintage travel poster. Should include a scene of Jefferson County that would make visitors want to travel to our region.
