    explain it to me

    Can you explain the graphical logo? To be honest I can't figure out what it should resemble, what it should tell.

    The design is simple, well readable font. The purpose isn't clear to me at all; maybe after an explanation I'll see the light Originality: it's a common layout, so nothing special to mention here Engagement: As I said before, the logo doesn't tell me what's it about. My first thought was that this was a logo for butter or something (In Belgium we have a company who makes baking butter called 'Planta').

      It's supposed to be a hand made of plants reaching for the sun. That's the idea. I don't think a logo should always tell what the company does. My idea is to give a "nature" look and feeling.

      Fair enough, now I know what it is, it makes more sense! I think giving the hand a thumb and it'll be crystal clear!

      Thats why there's two leaves at the bottom. The big one is the palm and the little one is the thumb.

      I uploaded a new version with some small corrections, let me know if it's more clear now

      For me it's a lot beter. If I may focus on the little details: if you want to make it look like a hand even more, I'd make the palm leave a bit bigger. Maybe a suggestive stem (2 lines, could be figurative as an arm or a stem)

      The new version is definitely a huge improvement!
