All Around the World Now

My poster announces the first global forum on reconnecting children and nature. It will assemble a diversity of experts ranging in fields from politics to healthcare to the environment. The image of the child and the toad is iconic to anyone familiar with Richard Louv as it is a stylized version of his book's front cover.

Common roots

I went with this one as my logo 'cause I suppose it felt more graphic than "Reach." The other one was too close to the Illustrator-provided symbol, so I chose this one. I really like spring green and browns. Also, I guess, the hand doesn't overpower the shoots, but rather visa versa, has more of a feeling of hope rather than depth.

Reach

I like the earthy feel the hand took on in this one; it has a sense of immensity and power. For whatever reason, the two-tone browns are more visually gripping than the first two I posted; this whole idea of a hand as roots evolved into the next design variation.

Shared Seed

I suppose this one superimposes the outlines of hands to be the veins of the leaf; in an abstract sense they have the same form. The "seed" I suppose was added to provide a bit of a focal point.

Similar Vein

All the logos have a common theme; similar attributes found throughout nature, including that of ourselves. Similar vein (s) looks to me like a leaf-shaped x-ray of someone palm, seeing the nerves or veins within the hand also as a part of the leaf.
