 Jamey Christoph has shared his artwork for 

the 2014 Gay Games medal on his blog, 

Alleycats and Drifters and we just had

to show it off here on Lindgren & Smith's.

Jamey writes, "This is an incredible opportunity

for Northeast Ohio's GLBT community and I

couldn't be more proud to help out. Our design 

celebrates Cleveland and Akron's industrial 

golden age, as well as their iconic skylines - 

two great cities hosting a great cause."

"As you can see, I considered a few local 
landmarks, before settling on the more 
recognizable, city skyline concept."

"Since the medal is being embossed, it had
to be designed in negative, making it a little
tricky to figure out. At this point in the process,
 it reminds me of early 20th century woodcuts."

I wanted to create a full color design as well, 

one that is uplifting and speaks to all the exciting

things happening in Cleveland. Go Cleveland! 

Keep making us proud."
