A Hyattsville artist designed a new “Made in Maryland”-themed logo that is being used on totes, mugs, wine glasses and other items sold locally at the new Shop Made in MD store in College Park.

Betsy Martin, who is currently the artist in residence at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, told the Hyattsville Wire she came up with the design after doing a similar one based on the D.C. flag for the Shop Made in DC store.

“The Maryland design uses a tweak on the Maryland flag colors and design which I knew would resonate with the Maryland audience,” she said. “The flag is everywhere so I thought it’d be fun to put our twist on it.”

Martin, who moved to Hyattsville 10 years ago and runs the NotJane Studio, also painted a mural outside the Hyattsville Elementary School, on the Little Free Art Shop outside Art Works Now in Hyattsville and inside and outside of Red Onion Records.

She said she loves the small business scene along the Route 1 corridor, including favorites like Three Little Birds Sewing Co., Artist & Craftsman Supply and Vigilante Coffee.
