Unusual Pool Park Emblem by Dutch Designer for Somerset Drive
A Dutch born illustrator designer Jan Greysteen creates an unusual emblem for the Somerset pool and park campaign using French Peignot type. He elongates back to back P letters for a ribboned display feel to symbolize movement for the recreation area. The emblem appears on all campaign literature and a folder page features a leather clad caricature amid variations.
