Summit Journal Is Back

Seemingly inspired by the success of Mountain Gazette another American outdoor magazine gets resurrected and published as a ‘high quality – in print only’ magazine subscription. I am, for obvious reasons connection Summit Journal to Mountain Gazette here, but I don’t mean this in a ‘copy cat’ fashion. This is brilliant and I want more of it. Especially in the light of Outside magazine turning itself into the complete laughing stock of the outdoor journalism world, it’s great to see people taking chances on new-old ideas.

And man, I love that Summit Journal logo.

PS: Back when Summit was sort of defunct I published under The Outdoor Society brand (also now defunct) an annual book called “The Summit Book”. We published two editions, one for 2016 and one the 2019. These books were self-published, had tons of typos, and overall weren’t amazing, but man, was it a thrill to put this together. One of the highlights of my graphic design career.
