Pantone 2010 Color of the Year

Pantone 2010 Color of the Year: PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise

Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.

Pantone, Inc.’s Color of the Year for 2010 is PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise. A serene bluish-green, this turquoise goes well with almost any color. Pair it with brown for stylish, on-trend combination or with last year’s COY, 14-0848 Mimosa, for a stylish, summery feel.

Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve

Snowy Plover BrochureIonia Design Studio has just finished a series of projects for the Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve in Guadalupe, CA.

Rancho Guadalupe is an extraordinary and unique nature preserve. It features the tallest sand dunes on the west coast (over 500 feet high) and has been named a National Wildlife Refuge for endangered and threatened species like the Western snowy plover. The preserve has also served as a filming location for several major films including Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments.

Individual project elements included artwork for a new visitor information kiosk, bilingual signage and brochures with information about the preserve and the habitat and habits of the Western snowy plover.

For more information about the preserve visit http://www.dunescenter.org/index.htm. Project elements can be viewed in our Portfolio.
