Thanks for your work. There is currently a lot of interest in your design.
Would you be willing to explore some additional color options, including some that are somewhere between the greyscale original and the bright option?
Also, can you possible reset the type associated with your greyscale version to include the words cincinnati Waldorf school instead of Nelson waldorf school?
What we love about this design: - It reflects a sense of place since the Trillium flower is native to Cincinnati. - The form of the trillium is not immediately visible to everyone, but is more recognizable after spending some time with it - It has a three fold focus which in Waldorf circles can symbolize head, hands and heart - It looks as if it has been created by a human, has a painted-like quality to it, it's imperfect which is good - It has a human-like figure at its center without being too literal an interpretation of the human form - It's beautiful without being cutesy - the use of yellow and green worked well with the grey, they give a nod to the literal colors of the trillium in a drawing that is not literal at all.
What we'd like you to explore
1) Can you explore an outside edge on the grey areas that is a little less defined or symmetrical? We're wondering if this will help keep it from looking like a clover when reduced or from afar.
2) Can you experiment with additional colors? In particular, we're wondering if there are some alternative to the grey that add a bit of color, such as a steely blue-ish grey, or brownish grey or something. Is there a way to do this without overriding the elements in the center? Can you experiment with making each grey petal or blob a different gradient of the same basic color? Perhaps only slightly off one another?
3) We really like the design with only one green stick/stem/body element in the center. The one with two is a little to literal.
Thanks so much for continuing to explore this design direction. our team continues to have a LOT of energy for it.
P.S. - Can you also submit a version of the logo #150 without the second green stick in the center? Thanks!
>>P.S. - Can you also submit a version of the logo #150 without the second green stick in the center? Thanks! done. About the rest - I am working on...
I played around the colors and outside edge of the grey areas. I used 4 color gradients for each color versions. The darkest gradient is used on the text to make it more readable.
