Gobble Gobble!




I know it seems like I have been neglecting Petit Fig Tree because I haven't posted in a while.  The truth is, I've had multiple projects up my sleeve, two being holiday cards, one holiday open house invitation and a Turkey Trot logo that was printed on tee-shirts.  

I would love to show off the holiday cards and open house invitation but considering they have yet to be sent, I don't want to ruin the surprise for the potential recipients.  

I will, however, show off the SPD Turkey Trot logo.  This inventive idea came from Justin, the client.   SPD is essentially a group of runners within a family, spanning the United States.  They have a forum where they can post their trials and tribulations when it comes to running,  support each other through the tough times and just keep in touch.  This close-knit family keeps each other going no matter where they are and how many miles they are logging.   

The first Annual Turkey Trot is virtual race. Each person ran on Thanksgiving at whatever pace and mileage they could handle.  The point was, everyone ran and even though they couldn't be together, they were joined in spirit. 

The skull depicts the struggle running brings about, the pain you go through to push through that last mile.  The turkey legs replace the crossbones, illustrating the holiday that it is held on, and the incentive to run those miles in the first place!
