Clipper Vacations: a ferry crossing told on two shores
From the October 2026 concept archive · Story published November 9, 2026
Original concept artwork from our proposal archive. The production-and-use story below is an imagined next chapter; a completed order is not claimed for these items.
Three cabin points and two wake points give the ferry-shaped pin a lighting plan that follows the vessel and water.
The inspiration behind the design
Website route and vessel research
The Seattle-to-Victoria ferry route, vessel information, and onboard shop supplied the brief. The coin links a Seattle ferry scene with Victoria's Inner Harbour and a route motif on the other face. These are illustrative travel scenes; final vessel, skyline, and route details would need review against approved references.
The idea behind the object
Imagine the piece as a crossing souvenir: one side recalls departure, and the other gives the return glance a different view.
Thought experiment: taking the proposal further
A production proof brings the printed artwork, cut outline, LED locations, battery, switch, and attachment together. The lights need room inside the edge, and the name needs to remain readable at the selected size. A rendering can show the intended mood; a sample establishes the actual brightness, sequence, weight, and fit.
In that imagined next chapter, the approved proof would lead to a sample review, then a confirmed production run and a plan for presenting the pieces. Those are possible next steps, not events we claim happened for this proposal.
