SO – as I was driving away a little too fast it came to me what I’d like to see – stylized or not, suggestion of the shape or more exact: I’d like to see the dove there. When I look at that image as is, one thing I get is the “inner” and “outer”. And somehow do I recall that the dot in the old days represented the One (God). But it doesn’t come across to me that way in this logo – it comes across to me as the united, integrated, whole self (not a bad thing for it to represent). To say nothing of it looking like a little face there...
Which is all to say that, as is, nothing in that logo strikes me as transcendent and I believe it needs a transcendent element and what better one than the dove?
If you look at #1, maybe the red half of the design could be exaggerated so that its shape approaches or suggests the dove?
Also – I think it would be good if the logo didn’t resemble or suggest (shapewise) the ubiquitous pink-cancer-ribbon.
That’s what I’ve got for now.
