What images represent the true essence of the San Juan Islands?
Submit your ideas to inspire the design of a logo for the San Juan Islands Scenic Byway.
The San Juan Islands Scenic Byway is developing a corridor management plan. A corridor management plan is created by communities along scenic byways to identify strategies for stewardship protection and enhancement of the byway’s unique qualities, as well as actions for promotion of the byway and improving the visitor experience.
San Juan Islands Scenic Byway representatives will be developing a graphic logo for the byway as part of developing the corridor management plan. Islanders can submit ideas to inspire the design of the lofo.
Submit your ideas, concepts, sketches, photos, graphics, poetry, descriptive words, to:
