Highbury Cemetery Logo, 2023

Welcome. Here we are again. October 1st...

IT'S OFFICIALLY THE HALLOWEEN SEASON! And it's time to kick off the annual Countdown to Halloween! An orange-and-black blitz of 31 posts in 31 days, all leading up to our high holiday of All Hallows Eve!! This is my 13th year celebrating all things creepy and cool with the Countdown to Halloween blog party, and we are still going strong. Can you feel that crisp, electric excitement in the air!!??

We've got a long list of blog posts all lined up and ready to go. A full month stuffed with tricks and treats, so be sure to check back daily because this party is going nonstop straight through the 31st! And you don't want to miss out on the good candy, do you??

So let's get this thing started, shall we!?

Each October, I like to start the festivities with the unveiling of my annual yard haunt logo. It's a great way to set the tone for the spooky season, and it gets me motivated to finish all the planned projects for the year's haunt. 

And this year's logo is extra special! For the past 20 years, I have created an increasingly defined and prominent Highbury Cemetery haunt logo for the season. The logo is used on posters, stickers, and a very small batch of t-shirts. Each year, the t-shirts are hand printed here at the Cemetery and then given out as a thank you to everyone who helps put on the yard haunt on Halloween night. A well deserved treat for all of the hard work that goes into this crazy thing every year.

So ladies and gentlemonsters, boils and ghouls, without further ado I proudly present the ghastly and gruesome 20th ANNIVERSARY logo for Highbury Cemetery, 2023:

I cannot believe that I have been doing this for TWENTY YEARS. So many good memories, and so much fun!

With this year's logo, I have taken one element from each of the past 19 years' logo art and dropped it into the 'XX' portion of the logo. A subtle nod to how far Highbury Cemetery has come as a yard haunt. I'm incredibly happy with this year's logo and I can't wait to get this thing printed on some shirts. I have some really great ideas to make this the best shirt yet...

And in honor of the 20th Anniversary celebration, I might just print up a few extras to give away! Sound good? Just check back throughout the month (both here and on the Highbury Cemetery Instagram page) to see how to win one of your own! Let's do this!!
