Contest Brief

I need a logo design for a wilderness/bushcraft/nature connection business. The goal of the business is to bridge the gap between urban life and "nature", promoting land stewardship, sustainability, incorporating humans into the ideal of what nature is, and providing mental & physical tools that customers can apply to everyday life and not just when they're in rural environments. Courses take a social-emotional and science-based approach with an emphasis on the scientific method and problem-solving.

An earthbridge is literally a bridge made out of living organic matter (often trees) and requires active engagement from people in order to be maintained. I envision my logo including this ideal of a physical bridge with the pillars of the bridge on one side being trees/a forest and the other side being a cityscape; the two merging together. The logo needs to be able to go on business cards, merchandise (t-shirts, hats, etc) and a website. Include "Eartbridge" or "Eearthbridge Nature Education" in the design.

Photos added for design inspiration & general vibe I'm going for.

    Hello,
    I've been working on your logo really passionately,
    Would it be okay for be to submit it still, in like 3 hours time or less? I think it would be a strong contender

    Please check placement and proportions within your design so that the features merge together to look like a single image instead of several images stacked together and that the size of the city makes sense for the relative distance you're conveying.

    Hello all, thank you for your submissions and your hard work. My hope is to have 3-4 solid logos that I could present to my clients for a final poll.

    The style I'm looking for is simple, organic, with stencil-like designs. I prefer the stencil of the city to be black & white, with an uncomplex design.- The city needs to not look like a splotch of black when it's printed out in a small format. The greenery also needs to be stencil-like and avoid looking like a blob in print. There is never a single color tone on a plant in nature, so the green-toned color fading/multi-tone colors is working well. There have been several submissions where the bridge and text fades from the green of the plants to the black of the city.- THIS IS PERFECT! Please keep that up.

      I like the layout of #53 , but the amount of color variation is a little too distracting. Chang the cityscape to black & white, the trees shades of green, and have the text fade from the green of the trees to the black of the city.

    The font in #24 catches my attention

    Cypress is a significant tree throughout the USA and grows near the water. It also has root structures that come above ground and could be incorporated into the design: https://stock.adobe.com/hk/images/monterey-cypress-trees-isolated-on-white-background/84197268

    I like the root structure of the tree going under the bridge in entry #11. I like the clear design in entry #9 . I like the silhouette concept, which allows for versatility in where I can use the logo. My business is in the USA, so culturally relevant greenery (pine, oak, maple, etc) and cityscape designs would be more familiar to customers. The cut-off, left side of the cityscape in entry #9 -11 feels incomplete and awkward. I'd like to see other cityscapes used.

    I have updated the contest to include photos for context. There are now several photos of real-life examples of earth bridges as well as some bridge structures I like. The design I'm looking for has simple, but organic lines.
