Doctoral programme in interdisciplinary environmental sciences - DENVILogo Design Contest

Dear designers,

After having a little meeting about various suggestions we have received thus far we'd have a few general comments for you:
* We like the green-blue-white as well as green-brown combinations. We like to see both combinations if you still have new ideas.
* As we have several fields of science involved we wish the logo would not be too obviously pointing in one direction. We'd like to see some plain and simple and even rather abstract ideas. Using for example leaves in the logo directs one's thoughts quite strongly towards plants. We are so much more than just plants. We are also about agriculture, fisheries, forests, city environments, people and so on. But as it is probably impossible to put all of those into one figure perhaps it is better to stick to something abstract and plain.

Dear designers,

Thank you all very much for the brilliant ideas you sent for us! We have a meeting tomorrow to rank the ideas so you will hear from me then again.
