We need a logo for a company based in Rochester, NY called "United States Tackle Company.". Our company has developped classic, yet innovative designs for fishing lures, and will serve as a distributor for hand crafted, regional tackle manufacturers.
The owners hail from both rust belt cities and the finger lakes region in upstate NY. Known mostly for steel manufacturing in a time since forgotten, the rust belt would best be described as a blue collar region, ranging as far west as Milwaukee, Wi, to as far east as Syracuse, NY. The finger lakes region is best known for its simple elegance.
We are passionate about fishing, as well as the "made in America movement.". We have watched the decline of our great cities and want to be involved in a return to prominence. Our region of operation is thriving with beautiful waters, and skilled craftsman passionate about their work in the fishing industry.
Our logo should incorporate America and all this great region has to offer while remembering its proud past. It should be very simple, yet elegant.
