If you are from the north shore of Massachusetts, chances are you have heard of the Liberty Tree Mall located in Danvers. It is a mall that I used to visit frequently during summers and holidays with my family, and with my friends when we had nothing else to do. The mall featured a large liberty tree sculpture at its heart, which was originally designed by Albert Surman for the New England Pavilion at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. As a kid, seeing this massive tree inside the mall stuck with me because it was unique and added a piece of magic to the experience inside the mall. It was also a meeting place for people to congregate.
The Liberty Tree Mall logo was influenced by this sculpture and is a perfect example of a simple geometric logo design. This style has always impressed me, even since I was a child. The logo reminded me of the graphic style used in the Expo 67 graphic identity styles.

Now, as a graphic designer, I decided to have fun and try to reimagine the Liberty Tree Mall logo.
