Branding for the Inland NW Rail Museum.

Posted July 11, 2011


The Inland NW Rail Museum is devoted to the railroad history of Eastern Washington and are currently building a new museum in Reardan, WA. In building this new museum, they decided they wanted to brand their company. We were ecstatic about this new project, and put our brains together as we searched for the right image to represent their organization. Our goal was to define the logo by its original history. In our research we found that an image of a caboose would best represent the organization and their collection, since all trains used to have cabooses’ at the end of their train. Since cabooses’ are no longer used in trains it gave it a more historic and nostalgic feel and it also reminded us of the book we grew up reading, “The Little Red Caboose”. To finish off this logo with a warm feel, we created the final illustration by hand-drawing it. Check them out at their Facebook page.
