INVERNESS COUNTY, NS
Design A3
Logo on horizontal bicolour

If I have to put a logo on a flag, like the established branding here that probably would be required on their flag, I will never put it on a single colour field unless there was additional symbolism to be had like formation of something visually between the two. There’s neither value nor beauty for logos on bedsheet designs otherwise. So beyond the Canadian pale field (relation to Canada) in Design A1 and the Scottish saltire field (relation to Scotland) in Design A2, were there other backgrounds that could be possible for the Inverness County logo? Symbolically, I could not think of one. Aesthetically, the logo is roughly divided horizontally into blue and green “halves”. As such, I came up with this horizontal bicolour field design, slightly offsetting the horizontal fimbriation divider to not only match where the colours separated in the logo, but also for a little distinctiveness. I reversed the colours in the field for contrast to neighbouring colours in the logo.

REFERENCE
Inverness County, Nova Scotia, is one of four counties on the island of Cape Breton. It has a population of about 17,000 in a land area of 3817 sq km (1474 sq miles). The county is known for its three main things. The first is its Scottish/Gaelic heritage, with some Acadian history in villages such as Cheticamp, and Irish influence. The second is its beautiful scenery of the Cape Breton highlands, often bordering the ocean with scenic cliffs, look offs, and drives. Finally, it has a strong musical scene and reputation of fiddling, Scottish, and Irish music and dancing. For these reasons, it was branded as “Canada’s musical coast”, with a logo to match.
