Bucintoro Cruises

About

The task was to create a new business that used a successful monogram as its logo. The business I created was Bucintoro Cruises, a Cleveland-based gondola touring business. The name is derived from the artwork The Bucintoro, which is the most famous artwork featuring gondolas. Monogram logos are often associated with a higher prestige, matching the higher prestige and experience of a gondola tour on the water of Lake Erie.
