Sculpture possibilities

 

February 23, 2022



What a good idea to have a marketing icon for La Conner! And kudos to First on First committee for putting in the thought, time and energy.

But we must be careful that the design is reviewed well so we don’t end up like Mount Vernon with an icon of a uterus and fallopian tubes. Have you seen that one across from the food co-op?

If the large "L" mock up was supposed to engender our "brand" of Love La Conner, I think it fails. As a cold, sterile, stainless steel, hard-angled, out-of-human-proportion structure it is unattractive. Furthermore it’s a one directional symbol; a selfie would only show the bottom half that looks like a side lying “T;” it might attract would-be drummers with its hollow echo chamber or be an attractive nuisance for kids to jump and play on and could break.

Our waterfront and Rainbow Bridge are icons in themselves.

How could you improve on its natural beauty?

21,800 could buy a lovely graceful curvy sculpture that truly conveys’ Love La Conner’.
