MAHONE BAY, NS
6A new Round 2 design without religious references

In response to a vocal minority that called for designs without religious reference, I came up with the 6 series of designs that used a radiant blue for the town’s vibrancy and seaside location, the schooner for its boat building heritage, and the Mi’kmaq star (sun) for First Nations representation. This first design in the series is just a peaceful scene of the schooner sailing under sunny clear skies. Nice and clean look with vibrancy via colours and contrast. The Mi’kmaq star is in red like it’s dual role as the sun. That star is actually a sun symbolizing unity. Its full colours are black (west), white (north), yellow (east), and red (south), but I had seen it depicted in one colour like here, or one colour with black outline.

REFERENCE
Mahone Bay is a small town of about 1000 residents on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. It is a picturesque tourism destination, especially the iconic three churches along the waterfront of the bay itself, though there are five churches in the town! It has a historic boat/ship building heritage, with more transport and industrial ships in the past, and more pleasure crafts in the present, from all materials but especially wood historically. It is also a current haven for entrepreneurs and business startups growing its population.
