Seal Sitters sends humongous flipper hugs to Uko Gorter for our new logo design. The design emphasizes the work we do, protecting seals and sea lions on our shores. Uko added the Alki lighthouse to give the logo a geographic reference, but ‘also to add a human element to the logo, as a lighthouse gives you a sense of “guarding” or “watching over” something.’

Uko is president of the Puget Sound Chapter of the American Cetacean Society (the group recently featured a presentation by SS) and a leading scientific and natural history illustrator, specializing in marine mammal illustration. Visit Uko’s website.
