Create a wild and scenic logo for the Ksanka Employees Association!

Ksanka RD, Kootenai NF OR Ksanka

We are an employees association working for the Forest Service. This is not an official government logo. We live and play in Eureka, Montana (USA) which is located in the northwestern corner of the state in a remote forested (western larch, Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, western white pine) area with a large reservoir and many lakes. We are in the midst of the Rocky Mountains and have LOTS of great wildlife, including grizzly bears, big horn sheep, wolves, rocky mountain elk, moose, mountain lions, eagles, loons, and rainbow trout. We also have many historic cabins and fire lookouts. Our goal is to design a logo that is representative of the outdoor environment we work in (recreation, forestry, wildland fire, archeology, fisheries, hydrology, wildlife) for our employees.

This logo will typically be embroidered or silk-screened on clothing apparel, hats, bags, and other keepsake items. It will not be used as advertisement.
Ksanka is the name of our Ranger District (RD) on the Kootenai National Forest (NF). It is a Kootenai American Indian word for standing arrow (vertical arrow with arrowhead in the ground).
Our employees feel that the following items are representative of the Ksanka RD - Therriault pass, Lake Koocanusa, Ksanka peak, conifer trees, lakes, local wildlife. We have attached some pictures of the local landscape for your inspiration.
