NEW LOGO: The design by David Jennings

A LOGO created by a local man to promote an eco action group has been featured in a US author's design book.

Climate Concern UK founder Peter Hale, the chairman of Northallerton Climate Action, commissioned David Jennings, from Northallerton, to design the logo.

He created the design using a digital drawing on a computer and incorporating hand-drawn elements.

US author Sharon Steuer was so impressed by his originality that she included his design in her book - The Adobe Illustrator CS3 Wow!

The book includes tips, tricks and techniques from 100 leading illustrator artists.

Mr Jennings said: "Peter commissioned me to do this globe element for their publicity and website and an A-board. It is all about climate concern and environmental issues.

"I have had it on my website for a while and it was picked up by an American author who asked how I did it.

"Then after a year, it was put in this book. It has sold 8,000 copies since October and is expected to sell about 30,000. It was a chance encounter really."

Mr Hale started Climate Concern UK nearly four years ago. As well as running the national campaign, he also gives talks to local societies and schools.

When Northallerton Climate Change was set up 18 months ago, Mr Hale was asked to be its chairman.

The group meets at 7.30pm on the third Tuesday of each month, in the Cottage Meeting Room, in Northallerton Methodist Church.

Members meet to discuss climate change and how it can be tackled, and run campaigns.

To join, call Mr Hale on 01325- 378452 or email peterhale@ climate-concern.com
