Looking out for the lookouts.

Insight
Public interest in forest lookouts has surged in the past 10 years, revealing a growing desire to visit, rent, buy, and stay in these iconic structures.
Strategy
The brands focus is on using preservation as incentive: in exchange for contributing towards lookout restoration projects, volunteers get opportunities to spend a week staying in these sought after towers.












Identity
At the center of the brand mark, a tree integrated into the lookout represents the importance growth and the hidden nature of forest fire lookouts.
















Brand Language
Copy conveys the organizations purpose through a mix of matter-of-fact language and fun wordplay inspired by trail signage iconography.







Please support the real Forest Fire Lookout Association as they continue their mission of the preservation of wildfire detecting structure restoration and its important history in the United States.
