Having been open since 1994, The Gem Gallery celebrated its 25th Anniversary this year. For the Annual Yogo Gala, I created a 25th anniversary logo to coordinate with the identity of the Gala and integrated it in to all of the media used for this event. I decided to focus on the history of The Gem Gallery and its journey from dream to reality through black and white photographs and family history. The topographic lines are all from around the area where the Vortex Mine is located which further solidified The Gem Gallery's ties to the mine.
