Admin code added by Abby - 1MF35762DT723493R

Tao Living offers various courses to help people to find their inner self, their inner power. Tao Living is about being conscious about the way you live, your intuition, your physical environment your mind, body and soul. We use meditation, visualization, Feng Shui, colors, and physical exercises to find the optimal way of living for each individual.
Tao means way or path. It also represents yin & yang. = Balance
I like to have the logo in black and white - to represent yin and yang
I like to have the symbol of a butterfly/butterflies. For me the process of Metamorphosis is metaphoric pretty much the same when we *** human being let go of a fear and “become a butterfly” = free.
I like the logo to express balance professionalism power

If you find a tag line it would be perfect

Hi, here's my design. :)

[wynlim]

an alternative version. :)

[Malika]

Hi everybody, I must say that it is fantastic to follow all the beautiful and creative suggestions - thank you all for that….
I have two that I particularly like and that is the suggestions from Tini1 and guetizo.

I like the way Tini1 express the metamorphosis in the butterfly – the logo could be interpreted as a human, a butterfly or both – I like!
It would be nice if the butterfly was tightly integrated with the Tao Living text and not flying away from Tao Living. I think Guetizo’s idea captures this very well. Maybe something in between that expresses that Tao Living is something you live and breathe, not something you do for a while and then fly away to something else. It’s a way of living.
Ideally I would also like to see something/somehow that feels a bit like yin & yang in some abstract way.
Dewa Jaya has some touch of yin & yang, but I think the square and round makes it look “locked in”/”not free”.
A couple of notes:
I would also like to have Tao Living in two words with a space between
The tagline would have to be in Danish, and I decided to go for: “din vej i balance” – meaning “your way in balance” way/vej because Tao means “way” balance because yin & Yang is balance…….

I am looking forward to second round :yes:
Best regards
Malika
