Here are some of my concepts. I've gone for something that's fairly clean and simple, yet striking. Creating an icon that works well within the logo or as a stand alone element, one that can be used for things like favicons or watermarks.
The logos are 100% vector so will scale well to any size, and works well in full colour, B&W and on coloured backgrounds if needed,
It would be my pleasure to work up any variations so please do say. I look forward to your comments or thoughts.
Hi Ninet6. What I really like about the castle in #15 is that you somewhat "deconstructed" it...we don't think a castle is a good metaphor for open/free/equal, but you have made it almost like a city on top of something (almost books, and a northward facing arrow?). Perhaps something a little more curved and free-flowing and inspiring? Thanks for the entries!
