We really like the new Swim Long Beach logo that signifies everything about the masters swim team in Long Beach, California.
With an outdoor pool sitting on the white sand beach of Long Beach within view of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, the logo features a rising sun. The open water swimmers, triathletes and masters swimmers are nearly always treated to beautiful sun rising over the horizon towards the end of their morning workouts.
The images of waves with swaying palm trees also reminds us of the ocean workouts, dynamic conditions of the ocean swells, currents and tidal flows that the members regularly navigate in the Pacific.
All in all, it is a very cool and most appropriate design for Swim Long Beach.
