The Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum recently received the highest award
possible from the Texas Association of Museums (TAM) for its design of
capital campaign materials at the state museum conference held in Austin,
Texas. The capital campaign materials, "Blazing New Trails," designed by
Jenny McChesney / Zeitgraph Graphic Design Firm of San Antonio took a gold
merit award, matching the achievement of other select museums in the state
such as the Blanton Art Museum, Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum,
Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, Museum of the Big Bend, Witte
Museum and Houston Museum of Natural Science. The recognition, awarded at
TAM's Closing Awards Luncheon, drew judges' remarks such as "clever,
intriguing, and memorable."
Named in honor of the founding Director of the Amon Carter Museum in Fort
Worth who was a staunch advocate of excellence in museum publications, the
Mitchell A. Wilder Awards were established by TAM to recognize achievement
in graphic design and media production.
In addition to the prestigious TAM Wilder Award, the International
Association of Business Communicators / San Antonio announced that the
Museum's "Blazing New Trails" capital campaign materials have been selected
as an IABC San Antonio 2007 Bronze Quill Award winner in the Design Print
and Online Publications category. The materials, including a specially
designed logo, appeal letter, project milestones piece, eight-page color
brochure, pledge card and return envelope was generously underwritten by
Wells Fargo Bank. Denis Mueller, President of the South Central Texas Region
of Wells Fargo Bank remarked, "Wells Fargo Bank was delighted to support the
efforts of the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum and their capital campaign
– the design of the materials fit perfectly with the marketing image
of Wells Fargo and our goals for institutional excellence."
