Flat color, a tree silhouette, and a heavy geometric sans set big.

The brief asked for heritage that stayed clear of the Western cliché, so the reference pile was travel posters and old highway signs.

3Billboard to Phone

The same three parts hold from a billboard to a lock screen.

Color blocks, silhouette and type, at every size.

The palette had to say Texas without red, white, and blue, so it comes from the landscape at last light.

Burnt orange, mustard yellow, brick, teal sky, cream paper, charcoal silhouette. Orange and mustard do the color blocks and the wordmark, cream is the paper, and the charcoal is every silhouette and most of the type. Greatdome is on the headlines and the posters, and Avenir Next is everything else.
