OzTEXLogo Design Contest

This organisation conducts climate change research in the alpine areas of Victoria, Australia. It is a collaboration between the major science organisation and the top universities, to bring together projects that investigate various research areas such as fire, plant phenology, soils and plant-animal interactions and how changes in climate are, and might further, influence the ecology of these fragile, slow-growing but also very popular areas.

2 options:
1: If using the billy button daisy as the logo - which is preferred - the colors will be muted alpine grey-green and the yellow of the flower or
2: If wanted to explore other mountain/alpine elements such as mountains or weather or vegetation, the colors will have to be restricted to muted alpine colors of Victoria.

The Craspedia daisy - commonly known as billy buttons - is iconic to this area and is the prefered element to use in our logo. You don't have to use the whole plant, although the flowers could be seen as representing the research groups being grounded by the science, or the tuft of the plant base.

An example of how this could be simplified is this logo which I quite like (top right of page): http://www.anbg.gov.au/gardens/

Others might like to explore mountain/alpine themes. They will need to be very simple though and only use muted alpine color and tones.
