Itzacon III

Itzacon is the NUI Galway annual Roleplaying, Wargaming and Science Fiction/Fantasy Conference.

In 2006, the organisers approached Dermot with the following brief;

Each Itzacon is themed, and that year's theme was to be based on the The Prisoner television series. However, the organisers didn't want there to be an overt aping of the graphic motifs from the series, but rather to play on the secondary imagery from the show. To this end, it was decided that the theme of obsolescence was to be the overriding graphical theme.

As such, Dermot came upon the simple yet elegant logo for Itzacon III - that of the hot air balloon. To compound the link to the TV series, the same font was used, and also a colour motif of orange and white, which is seen in the bunting in the fictional village. On top of this some textual allusions were made, such as the use of the phrase "Be Seeing You".
