Schum Creative wins design and illustration awards in American Graphic Design & Advertising 30 Awards

Schum Creative is pleased to announce that it has been awarded two spots in the annual American Graphic Design & Advertising 30 Awards competition for the design of Halcyon Fitness’ logo and digital illustration for MathTree, Inc.’s, “Grouper, the Regrouper” math camp character. The AGDA Awards will release a hard-bound book this winter where each will be featured.

The logo for Halcyon Fitness features a stylized symbol of a kingfisher bird. The dictionary definition of a “halcyon” is “noun: a mythical bird said by ancient writers to breed in a nest floating at sea at the winter solstice, charming the wind and waves into calm.” Halcyon Fitness provides life-changing focused, personal training and nutritional guidance to produce peace and happiness in the lives of their clients who are aiming to reach their goals for a healthier lifestyle.

MathTree offers summer math camps and training sessions to kids from ages 5 to 15 in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. Custom illustrations were created and incorporated into the design of a brochure, camp inserts, postcards, and a progress card. “Grouper the Regrouper,” an original math character conceived by MathTree founder Lynn Salvo, was brought to life through digital illustration. The character has become a mascot for a portion of the camp.
