The park covers an area of more than 34.000 acres, characterized by an impressive diversity of landscapes. The melting of glaciers thousands of years ago and continuous volcanic eruptions have carved this land´s wild geography, including the vast native forest, steep mountain ranges, lakes , lagoons, turquoise rivers, waterfalls, spectacular hot springs and geysers. The ancient forest is home to a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna, many of which are endemic species from Chile.
16 years ago, we started developing an amazing trail network on this land once impenetrable. Today, more than 70 miles of high standard trails provide the visitor with access to breathtaking views of the Patagonian Andes and a variety of natural attractions you could only see in a place that has remained untouched.
Our approach to tourism development is one that rigorously cares environmental protection, supports the local community and creates a profitable sustainable business, offering good jobs, better quality of life and a world-class experience for visitors.
We conceive the park as an exploration playground where the possible activities are countless: hiking, fly fishing, rock climbing, kayaking, biking, horse riding, bird watching, snowshoeing, bathing in natural hot springs and soaking up the local culture are some of them.
Futangue Park presents a unique opportunity, a place with its own identity where natural phenomenons develop and extend in all sectors of the park. The extension and diversity of ecosystems invites visitors to explore, walk and contemplate moving scenery.
We need a logo that contains the name “Parque Futangue” and an image, shape, figure or symbol that represents the park. Parque is the Spanish translation for park and Futangue means great valley, written in the native language of the Huilliches, millenary people from southern Chile.
The typography and the logo should reflect a sense of exploration, purity, adventure and movement; it should make future tourists want to discover this place; it must be attractive as the park itself; it has to communicate the values of nature and balance of a place where time fades away while you are out there exploring, taking pictures, learning or just enjoying life.
We would like to use the logo for all our communications (website, press notes, leaflets, merchandising, etc.)
Good luck!

Thanks for nice comments, I will do a proposal with new tagline. Is there anything else you would add or change, how do you like the birds in addition to the logo?
Kind regards, Sonja. -

I like pretty much the typograhy, size and location of all the text, it just that i am not totally convinced about the hand, although is the best logo at this moment, I want to propose some concepts as an alternative. What if you focus on the experience of exploration and adventure with the elements of old times, the place has a history related with the spanish conquest and wars against the natives. I am thinking in elements like: the compass rose, the figure of the conqueror, old maps of Patagonia or southamerica from where you can take ideas for the typography, backgrounds, colors, figures; the southern cross represented in the centaur constellation as the guide to head south, an explorer using the sextant, the astrolabe, the old ships, The native god called "Pillan", the amphibians as the natural treasure of the park ( darwin frog or tree frog) with a tatoo of the "pillan" in the back, representing the ancestors of the people that live there, etc. Use one or more of these elements to create a conceptual story. Do some research on google. If you want you can give me your mail and i can send you some images representing these elements.
Or some abstract way to represent the power of nature, I said in the brief that this was a very volcanic area , maybe there is and interesting way to represent that.
These are just ideas ,but the contest has a long time remaining -

Hi, this is my contribution to your contest, simple and elegant logo ... Stylized hand with a sketch of mountains on the palm and clouds of the fingers, the combination of man and nature... I hope you like it, look forward to your comments.
Kind regards, Sonja. -
matiasrt says :
it´s the best one i have seen in my contest so far. Like the concept , you could explore other typography, size and location of the logo to see what happen. It´s Patagonia , not Patagonina
-
matiasrt says :
you know what , maybe instead of a hand it could be the footprint of a puma ( it´s a big wild cat), like a leopard. Just an idea , maybe not
