Hello, Here's my concept for Your logo: combining 4 animal types (birds on top, reptiles and mammals in the middle, and fish on the bottom) in gree/blue circle (earth/Gaia). Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks for this range of entries on the theme. I like the way that the logo can be turned into an easily recognised icon.
Among the logos you have put forward I prefer the ones with the larger icon and I think I prefer the one with the blue background to the icon, capturing the fee of seas on the globe.
Of the animal parts in the globe, I like the elephant and the foot/hand the most. The wing is pretty good too but seems a bit busy, with all the feathering, especially when contrasted with the simplicity of the dorsal fin at the bottom. Also, the dorsal fin looks like the mouth of a kind of angry face, if you look at the logo without interpreting the cutouts as animal parts. Perhaps experimenting with bird heads and fish or whale tails would making it work a little better, but I am not sure.
Another possibility: If you look at the coloured part of the circle logo and try to interpret that as a creature, you are already getting close. It would be amazing to have the circle logo white spaces be interpretable as many different animal parts, and yet have the coloured parts be interpretable as some other creature. That would be very cool. The way I see the coloured parts, we have the front of a horse-style beast with a long ear at the top of its head and a spiky mane down its neck and a sort of curly nose. The hand is hard to interpret, but the colour between the elephant's trunk and the front of the dorsal fin is a pretty clear leg. The tusk of the elephant is a bit strange, the way it cuts into the hoof, but it could be reduced a little perhaps.
Perhaps I am looking at these entries for too long :-)
