Logo design for my rowing business. Looking for something distinctive, memorable and recognizable. This is rowing. Not paddling, not kayaking, not canoeing. 45th Parallel Rowing is a rowing instruction, coaching and touring company. Rowing tours being provided in the Northern Michigan Area (45th Parallel). Northern Michigan is known as the 3rd coast because of the Great Lakes. Tours will be offered to experienced rowers regionally, nationally and internationally. Rowing tours in Europe are very popular. The States have not caught on as quickly. The rowing shell (boats) typically used for touring seat four people and are called a quad. The manufactures that make these boats are Filippi, Swift Racing and WinTec.
