Last year, for the first time since 2010, I returned to the road to check out shopping malls throughout my home state of Connecticut and beyond. The trips were so successful and pleasant, that it was almost a sure thing that I would do the same thing this year.

Starting on April 26, 2016, the Mall Tour has indeed been a wonderful success again so far this year and naturally, I was going to create another event defining logo.

Below is my 2016 Mall Tour logo, a testament to the adventurous spirit of the Tour and also a throwback reference to the 1980s, a time when shopping malls were greatly popular. The clean, crisp appearance of the logo is among my favorite features, and I also love the black and white design.
