Triangle Vegetarian Society

We're Getting a New Logo!

We are hoping to have a streamlined website redesign in 2008 and were very lucky, on December 6, 2007, to win a free logo design by the kind folks at LogoBee.com. Our current logo (shown at right) harkens back to the days when we had a hardcopy newsletter called "The Grapevine".

Below are some designs, including what they would look like reduced and photocopied in grayscale, that we are considering - please feel free to send any feedback to Dilip. (Samples, or logos that you know and that move you - positively or negatively - may inspire some additional ideas.)

Some design ideas that we have put forward include:

Concepts: green, environment, good-for-you, good-for-others, ahimsa, ethics, compassion, animals, world
Should portray a friendly invitation to folks with any interest in vegetarianism/ethics/environment, non-judgement, openness to children, adults, the elderly, focus on plant-based diets
Not too literal; symbolism that can encompass holism, gentleness, peace, ethics, food, sustainability, and of course our mission as described at trianglevegsociety.org/about.html
Something that is timeless, elegant, soft, and memorable with some significant abstraction grounded to perhaps concrete text; artistic and identifiable, unique and strong, not something too traditional or "inflexible"
T, V, and S, our initials, of course, should be a focus; it's long, but if it could easily include trianglevegsociety.org, that would be great - but not if it detracts from an elegant design; soft, rounded fonts are great - as are handwritten/brush-stroke ones
Should look good at various sizes, in full color and in B+W
