appear in Japanese book 'Relaxing Graphics'

Two logo designs by Jeff Fisher, the Engineer of Creative Identity for the Portland-based Jeff Fisher LogoMotives are featured in the new Japanese book Relaxing Graphics: Warm, Calm, Exhilarating. The volume, from publisher PIE Books, includes Fisher's creations for the Tilikum Center for Retreats & Outdoor Ministries (Newberg, OR) and Bella Terra Landscape Designs (Portland,OR).

Relaxing Graphics showcases design works from around the world which convey visual images for terms such as secure-feeling, heart-warming, kind, brisk, feeling good, comfortable and relaxing; representing harmonious coexistence between nature and humans in printed and digital forms.

The Tilikum identity is a re-design of a previous image representing the retreat center for George Fox University. The logo also appears in The Big Book of Logos 5 and 100's Visual Logos and Letterheads.
