Let me offer something really unique, contemporary and pro-looking (entries #14, #15, #17). Trying to avoid clisheys, like generic "swooshy" figures in athletic poses,...they are just sooo overused. Hope you'll recognize potential behind these designs! Thank you!
I absolutely recognize the uniqueness and welcome it...can we work with the colors a bit with designs #17. One brown face, golden toned like the background of #15 and #14 and keep the burnt orange of the original...also, can the hair look like it is forming a tree (symbol of creativity and growth).
I have two updated color variations on my initial design on entries #23 and #24,...they both look interesting. Your idae about incorporating a tree proved to be a bit tricky to do,...three needs to be horizontaly positioned in order to send the right message (growth/development), and it kinda disrupts overall look of the logo icon. If I manage to come up with something that might work, I'll upload it! Let me know what you think of these! Thanks!
I'm back with updated designs, without ethnic dreadlocks,...it looks less playful, but cleaner and more serious/professional now! Entry #37, and maybe more interesting variation, with faces more clearly separated on #38! Thoughts!? Thank you!
...and one more potentialy interesting variation, with three layout options on entries #40, #41 and #42, with slogan added,...versions w/o slogan look less "crowded" and kinda more professional! What are your thoughts!?
It has come to my attention that there is conceptualy somewhat similar logo out there (GirlScouts),..I wasn't aware of this logo, but I feel obligated to inform you. There is a big difference between the two, but if you want to make modifications, let me know,...we can for example reflect the whole thing, so girls/women are looking to the left, to avoid even the slightest similarity!? Anyway, let me know!
Actually, I've consulted few other designers , to check out if they see any similarities,...they said it is different enough! This reflection made it totaly different, but if you want, I can additionaly check out with the admin in the site!? Let me know!
Here's one more update on my design, with two color options (#76 and #77),...just in case you prefer more pro-looking visual identity! Thanks for your cooperation so far!
