25 Years 25 Logos :: Retrospective By Jesse Mireles
“25 Years 25 Logos: A Retrospective Of Logo Designs By Jesse Mireles,” a new exhibit at the National Center for Nature Photography, will highlight some of the artist’s favorite – and award-winning – designs. The exhibit opens January 8 and continues through March. A free public reception to meet the artist and learn more about the logo design process will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday, January 23. Refreshments will be provided. Park visitors are familiar with Mr. Mireles’ work, from logos to publications such as the award-winning Metroparks Magazine. Through his career, he has amassed numerous awards and honors. His designs have even been featured in international journals read by professional designers around the word. For this exhibit, he had the unenviable task of selecting just 25 of the hundreds of original designs he has created over two and a half decades. Jesse Mireles is a current member of AIGA Toledo.
