I am working with the youth section of the global ecovillage network (GEN) since some years now. Some people once made a logo. On of my first contributions to the movement should have been a new logo and a website.

Unfortunately at that time there was not sufficient funding and I needed to earn money. So I ended up not having enough time to work on the project.

Now, that I went for the gift-economy route it didn’t take long for me to realize that now I finally have time for such projects and it was the first project i worked on, based on gift-economy.

I came home from band rehearsal one night at around midnight and felt very inspired to get on this project, as this was in my head since years and I couldn’t stand the current logo on the profile pages etc. So I just sat down and went on it until like 3 am.

I didn’t want to go the full route for logo design, as with a large international network like this without fixed leaders and decision structure this can be very tiring.  I just made some quick proposals based on a design that another Member once made. (First row)

I basically just changed the fonts for
„next
“ and the colors to look more professional and less aggressive, but still alternative, young and fresh.

Updates on the decision process will follow soon.
