Rugged coastlines, fishing industry, lobsters, lighthouses, stormy weather, and charming coastal towns. If these are the images that come to mind when you think about Maine, you wouldn’t be wrong. With 3500 miles of coastline dotted with bays and coves and flanked by thousands of coastal islands, Maine’s connection to the sea is intensely strong, dating back to the first humans who lived there.
This design features a rocky coastline and a simplified interpretation of Portland Head Light, the oldest and probably most famous of the 65 lighthouses still standing along the coast of Maine.
