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.
