Logo With Specified Color Choices

At the first meeting, we made sure to get the group to let us know what colors they wanted to use for the logo and the entire site, for that matter.  We had found the whirlwind symbol, which everyone loved right away so we knew we were going to be building off of that.  We did want to incorporate the circular design because that was important to the organization as well.  At first, we tried using feathers, another representation of the group, however, they made the logo a little to much for what it needed to be.  Then, we began working with the dots and those obviously made it far too busy.  We finally decided on keeping the whirlwind and the text separate, but connect them using a circle.  This worked extremely well except for one thing… the circle was too crisp in comparison to the whirlwind.  We wanted more of a brush stroke look so we just made our own half circles in Illustrator in the same way we made the whirlwind symbol.
