This series of projects supports the Lebanon County Historical Society’s mission to connect the community with its local history. This includes a new logo and promotional materials for two public history reenactments, all of which make local history visible, tangible, and engaging.

Primary Logos
Secondary Logos
This new logo combines two core elements of local identity: the outline of Lebanon County and the historic building that houses the Historical Society. Together, these features create a clean, adaptable mark that reflects both place and purpose.

Civil War Medicine Reenactment
The Civil War Medicine Program hosted a living history reenactment in which a historical interpreter portrayed a Union medical officer.
The design draws inspiration from broadside advertisements, or single sheet prints used to inform the public about current political news and events. The poster combines late 19th century typography trends, such as large, commanding typefaces and a wide variety of fonts, with current design trends.
ROLE: Layout design

Women’s Suffrage in Lebanon County Reenactment
The Justice Bell also hosted a living history reenactment of the the Women’s Suffrage Movement as it moved through the county in 1915.
Similarly, this design draws inspiration from advertisements of the era in which newspapers and magazines were the main platforms for advertising. Ads were primarily black and white, and visual elements had begun to take precedence over typography.
