A camp that needed its logo to feel as fun as the camp itself

Animal Kids Camp came in with an existing logo that no longer matched the energy of the program. A redesign like this is its own challenge: you have to honor what people already recognize, while fixing what holds the mark back — clarity at small sizes, friendliness, and a personality that lands with kids without losing the parents.

My job was to keep what worked, lose what didn't, and deliver a clean, scalable identity the camp could put on everything from t-shirts to a website header.

Same heart, sharper execution

The redesign kept the camp's animal-and-kids spirit but rebuilt it for legibility, warmth, and real-world use.

Before

The starting point — recognizable, but dated and hard to read small.

After

Friendlier, cleaner, and scalable — built as true vector for any application.

Hand-drawn, then rebuilt for the real world

1 · Sketching the personality

I worked the character and composition by hand first — finding a friendly, approachable feel that fits a kids' camp without tipping into cliché. Drawing it out by hand keeps the warmth that vector-from-scratch work can lose.

2 · Color & vector build

I translated the approved direction into clean vector art with a bright, playful palette that holds up on apparel, signage, and screen. Final files were delivered print-ready in every variant the camp needed.

3 · The mark in use

The same logo carried onto apparel — proof the mark holds its warmth and legibility off-screen, on the kind of camp t-shirt a kid actually wears.
