Bighorn Lodge is a luxury heli-ski lodge and chalet located at the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort in British Columbia, Canada. The property, which opened in 2011, was built by British brothers Michael and Chris Kirkland, who combined a European catered-chalet concept with Canadian heli-skiing operations.[1][2]
Design and History
The Bighorn Lodge symbol was designed in 2011 by Give Up Art, a London-based graphic design studio founded by Stuart and Emma Hammersley.[3][4] The studio, established in 2006, is best known for its work in the music sector, including visual identities for the record label Tempa, the FWD>> club night, and the Rinse FM rebrand.[4][5]
The lodge’s name references the bighorn sheep, a species native to the mountainous regions of western North America. The mark was created in the same year the lodge opened, aligning the visual identity with the property’s launch.[1][3]
Meaning and Symbolism
The logo depicts a bighorn sheep’s head, rendered in a graphic style with circular and spiral elements.[3] The bighorn sheep serves as a direct visual reference to the lodge’s name and its setting in the Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges, home to the species. The mark functions as a straightforward emblem for the wilderness terrain surrounding the property.
Typography and Design
Documented details about the logo’s typography, exact color specifications, or construction methods are not available from primary sources. The design is characterized by its circular composition and spiral-like linework within the sheep’s horns, consistent with a bold, graphic treatment.[3]
