Hi :)
I have tried out the suggestion using the capital EE's, but Im afraid the the script font didnt look so right in addition to the rest of the design. My idea behind the logo is the to CC's that is "connected" to eachother is representing the main thing that you wanted to communicate thru the logo - Connecting, Engaging and Exchanging.
But, I have uploaded some new color versions for you to see + one the has the element of a frame in the background (almost as a watermark) to represent the arts and culture part.
Just let me know if there is anything else I can do for you! :)
Best,
Anne
