WESTVILLE, NS (Canada)
Design 3C
Single pickaxe in shaded Canadian pale of coal
A more radical version of Design 3B, the bars of coal are given some shading to be a little more literal visually. Also, it was an opportunity to show what a single pickaxe design would look like, given the double pickaxes are well known as part of the logo of the NBA Denver Nuggets, although it’s not like they were the first or only entity to ever use that icon. Just maybe the most famous… all the more now that they are NBA champions.

REFERENCE
Westville is an inland bedroom community of about 3,500 people in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, that has a proud and sometimes tragic mining past that ended in the 1990s. There once was three underground mines, and an explosion in 1873 killed 70 miners, for whom there is a memorial. Another prominent memorial in town is the cenotaph. Like many mining towns, Westville once had some prominent amateur sport teams in baseball, cricket, hockey, and football. However, today, there is only a recreational sport scene there. The town’s colours are a deep blue, white, and black, and is on everything from the website to the former high school and current minor hockey league team. Miners and mining are definitely Westville’s identity, with their website pointing out on its home page how this small town with a big heart needs to honour its past so as to have a future. The town has no logo, a very crudely drawn seal of two men working in the mines, and practically no branding aside from the colour scheme mentioned.
