Hi,
The structure of the honeycomb is one of the most perfect geometrical structures in nature. considering the 'community' of the hive and its function it is a perfect example with your name.
The orientation of the hexagon is often depicted horizontal and should be shown with 2 points at vertical position otherwise the honey would fall out of the structure. FYI it may not matter??
Let me know if there are any of the layouts that you would like rearranged or in different colors. It is interesting you don't want purple because the typical colors that many will use for the 'hive' is gold and yellows and their complimentary colors are violets and purples.
If you would look at my portfolio and if you see any illustration or style that you like I can add it for an entry selection...all 1st are taken as well as some others in different rankings but I can use any to create a new logo.
