WESTVILLE, NS (Canada)
Designs 8E and 8F
W connected mineshafts
From Design 8C, I connected the bottom of the 3 mineshafts each representing a mine in the past, to create a symmetric W for Westville like might be found for a sports team logo and flag. Recreational sports is still big in Westville today, while in the past, it had a distinguished history of amateur sports in baseball, cricket, hockey, and others. Another attempt at combining mining and athletics had been made with Design 1A that is more sporty in nature, but also more complicated in design.

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.
