Jungle crest/logo

Jungle crest/logo. 

On the crest are golf clubs, a palm tree, and a sailboat. 




Pictured: marker at entrance to Jungle Prada neighborhood – inspired by the Jungle Hotel logo.


The Jungle Country Club Hotel logo pictured at the top of the page was designed by Eve Fuller (wife of Walter P.) and was worn as a patch on the bell-men uniforms. The uniforms were said to be "odd and attractive." Eve Fuller was a talented woman - originally from Indiana, she wrote for the St. Petersburg Times, was involved with the arts, and was one of the interior designers of the Jungle Country Club Hotel.

Previous to Mrs. Fuller's hotel logo design, a simpler Jungle logo appeared in newspaper articles:
