This image was sourced from an archived museum newsletter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Everhart Museum, established 1908, is located in Scranton’s beloved Nay Aug Park.\n\nFor the banner redesign, I focused the messaging to describe what the museum continues to accomplish since its founding. Using verbs like Revealing, Inspiring, and Preserving, in tandem with imagery and artifacts from the collection, the banners celebrate the core tenets of the museum – natural history, science, local and folk art, mining heritage, and ornithology – as well as the vibrancy of the park it resides in.\n\nSee also the post about the museum’s general identity.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: kelsey.fyi **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n_**Source: kelsey.fyi **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n_**Source: kelsey.fyi **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nThe Enlightening banner is a lithograph, _Coal Town_ , by local artist, Michael J. Gallagher (1898–1965). The artwork not only speaks to the mining heritage of the area, but also the style of home that many families still live in today.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: kelsey.fyi **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nAt the beginning of spring, a nearby bush sprouts beautiful flowers matching this exact shade of purple. The artwork featured here is _Shimmering Wisteria_ by local artist and screen printer Jon Carsman (1944–1987). The museum holds many of his works.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: kelsey.fyi **License: All Rights Reserved. _\n\n\n\nThe Revealing banner incorporates several of the fossils on display in the Natural History and Science galleries.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source: kelsey.fyi **Photo: Kelsey Mitchell.

It not only speaks to the nature within the park, but to the founder’s curiosity and whimsy.\n\n\n\nThis post was originally published at Fonts In Use\n\n* * *",
