Summertime Gladness

As you may remember, we change the logo on our welcome board every so often.  Usually, it is based on a seasonal theme.  For instance, for the last few weeks, the logo was in blue and red for Independence Day.  The "o's" were changed into stars, and red stripes came out of the right end.  This time around, we had a hard time coming up with an idea.  Ultimately, we decided that watermelons would suit the season nicely.  But how should we do it?  We first thought about making every letter some form of the fruit, but decided against it.  While most of the letters could be represented as whole melons or slice, the "t" would be all but impossible.  In the end, we decided to just go with the "o's" again.  The first two "o's" would be whole melons, but the last "o" would be a round slice, as if just cut open.  We used two shades of green to represent the striped outside rind.  For the inside, we used a green outline with a lighter green ring just inside.  A red flesh interior with black seeds completed the effect.  We were going to put a video of the process up here, but there was a problem with the upload, so just check the website or social media for the full story. See you next week.
