Hello, I tried to bring my proposal to the leaf symbol of Canada an oriental style (inspired me in full the character daniel san holding the head in the movie karate kid and images of Japanese art). I did this without reference to disfigure the Canadian flag. In the central portion of the sheet, highlighted tip that is directed to the north with the intention of strengthening the relationship of the logo with the name of the school.
The Canadian sheet remains present and visible on the mark, Relating it with the previous version of the logo and the country it belongs to the school. The oriental style creates the relationship with the idea of karate. And once again the central tip of the leaf comes to strengthen the region and the name of your gym.
So, I think my changes on Canadian symbol comes to making their own unique brand, adding a broad sense and relevant to your school.
Please give-me some feedback. Thanks!
