Create an internet product sales business that attracts like-minded folks from around the world. WORLD PEACE.

Simple graphic that makes me relax and get curious when I look at it;
Clean-looking

No definites. BUT ideas which weave through our work are:

Inner peace, ease
Stillness
Working through the body

Our tagline is not chosen. A working tagline might be: “Pioneering Freedom in Body, Mind, & Spirit”

What is the overall message you are trying to convey to your target audience?
Increasing freedom comes from simply shifting your vibration. We have a system to do that. The results of the shift will be more freedom in every area of your life and also a new paradigm of consciousness

Where will your new logo be used?
In the mastheads of all of our sites and publications, all emails, on all products, etc.

Competitive Positioning:
Who are your competitors and what do you think about their logos?
• Landmark Education (www.landmarkeducation.com) – no graphic logo
• Waking Down in Mutuality (www.wakingdown.org) – logo is too busy for me, although does elicit curiosity
• Centerpointe Research Institute (www.centerpointe.com) – logo is clean, crisp, really good for what they are selling

What sets you apart from your competitors?
We go through the body to achieve the results we promise.
Our products are aimed at stabilizing you in the experience of a peak experience. We develop practical skills in the subtle world.

Targeted Message:

Hi,

This concept incorporates both the Chinese character for "gateway" and the commonly understood DNA "fingerprint". Trying to play on old and new and East meets West. I hope you like it. Let me know if you'd like to see any revisions.

Hi,there. I so appreciate your enthusiasm and vision. Here are the elements that I like about your designs.

Version 1 - space that appears at the bottom. space in center w/ circle divided.

Version 2 - sun in the dark sky; feeling of yin-yang.

Version 3 - concentric circles, as in water ripples.

Here's what I'd like to see:

Version 1 - soften the edges, fading the colors so that the image is less "hard". Change the colors to sky and darker blue.

Version 2 - play with a long wave as the line of the horizon and in the space below. use much softer colors.

Version 3 - eliminate the drops; use a central figure that evokes a human with the waves emanating around.

Perhaps you could create a 4th design using the best of these first designs. incorporate one or more waves.

Hope this feedback is useful and motivating. Looking forward to hearing from you again. Warm regards.

Hi. thanks for your design. I like the interplay of the colors. I'm looking for a feel that's less discrete and more flowing. Perhaps play with waves instead of dots.

Best regards.

I love having a person in the center of the logo -- and this one looks so free and joyful! I like the shadows, evoking 3-dimensionality. The proportions are great. I'd like to see this person softened and made less 'pointed' at her ends. I'd like to see a version without the balls over the head and substituting waves emanating from her center and extending beyond her body, as if she were incorporated within a wave field.

Thank you for a most intriguing design. I'd be interested in exploring this design by having you use this idea but softening it. Could you use interlocking wave forms instead of hard lines? The center draws me in but there is nothing there. could you add some kind of soft, gradient color in the center? Overall, I am looking for a more inviting and comforting image.

Thanks for playing so creatively with my stated ideas. I really like the feel of Chinese characters in their flowing lines and the brushstroke effect (a real person made it; not a machine). I do not want real Chinese characters in the logo, however. How about taking that central character as a model, dropping those large bookend character. The vertical lines in that character could evoke a human form and the horizontal strokes waves flowing through it. If it works, I'd like to keep the brushstroke look of the lines.

The background is very pretty but too busy for what i have in mind.

Hello. thanks for your re-design. I wonder if you could tilt the water ripples up (like a target) and put the person, full-body in the center, with the ripples coming out from her. I am thinking that the ripples could make a "field" of waves around the person, as if the person was emanating the waves.

I apologize for being so absent these last three months. Seems our internet project got side-tracked while we re-thought.... well, EVERYTHING! We are getting close to a launch now (within six weeks) and will soon (within three weeks) be able to see which of the images that you created will most suit our new product venture.

Thank you all again for your work. Your ideas are wonderful, and we will choose one very soon. Sorry to make you hurry up... and WAIT.
