Thank you for your efforts. I like the colors and font, but the ribbon is somewhat overdone concept for an organization that wants to represent innovation and creativity. Inspired is a company that helps others raise money, not a nonprofit itself.
So is an arrow but it didn't stop FedEx from making one of the most stand out brands in the world from it... Swooshes - disgustingly overdone - Nike rocks it like a pro... On & on... Little people logos - do not attempt to take your brand here if you want to come off serious... There is nothing new under the logo sun... If you show me a logo, I'll show you 10 more just like it...
It speaks to you demographic and has a clean & modern appeal & integrates the company initial in an clever way... Sure the ribbon has been done but not like this - most importantly it speaks to your clientbase which is what a good logo should do... So I don't think you should deter from it just yet...
With that said - I'll see what else I can come up with... what kind of other symbolism do you have in mind that may work? I'd be happy to give it another go or two but in my mind I can't think of anything else that could play into it as well... I could try to put more "innovation" into the idea of the ribbon but only if your up for it...
