Vintage Crest/Insignia for Historic Town Blog
Essex on Lake Champlain
A guide and community blog for Essex, New York.

Simple but elegant logo that looks like it might date from the early 1800s. It should be a single color and work equally well in black ink, embroidery, etc. See example of the embroidered hat we used last season, but note that this logo does NOT necessarily have to incorporate the wording, “Essex on Lake Champlain”. A mountain/lake themed crest or nautical burgee might offer a starting point. Other visual ideas to explore: SX in period font, traditional anchor, Adirondack Mountains, Lake Champlain, Essex-Charlotte ferry, rising/setting sun motif (see Historic Essex),
Essex, NY is unique as a destination because it combines architectural and historic heritage (the town was founded and almost totally built in the first half of the 1800s and remains extremely well preserved) with rich lifestyle opportunities afforded by the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Champlain which is the biggest lake in the United States after the Great Lakes.
I've listed some more ideas for inspiration in the suggestions/ideas section below including some visual references.

Dark, nautical blue and white but should work equally well in black and white.

Although none of these suggestions are intended as literal models for the logo, they are provided to help narrow the direction I'd like to go. I will also upload a quick (and unquestionably poor) mockup of one brainstorm that came to me. I know you'll do much better!
