2.1 logotype Reminiscent of the playful fun found in enjoying a scoop of ice cream by the beach, this logo represents the ice-creamy goodness and innocence of Lighthouse Ice Cream the place and the brand. It is energetic and youthful yet stays true to its mom-and-pop beginning. It speaks to all audiences and welcomes everyone to enjoy this local delicacy. The logotype may be used in place of the full signature for a more minimal look. Apply this form of the brand specifically on packaging and wrapping of brand food products.
