Generating Logo Ideas



As we are developing our ideas and plans for our presence here in Botswana, Yasemin has been putting her artistic skills into play designing a logo for BAPL. Here is the preliminary image she drew, which we took to JJ, a graphic designer here in Gabs, to digitize. It's a baobab tree which is symbolic of longevity and found mostly in northern Botswana. I've seen pictures of these for years. They are quite cool as the branches look like the root system turned skyward and they have fat trunks that store lots of water. People chew stems of it during a certain time of the year and it gives a little buzz, maybe similar to sassafrass?
With BAPL, we intend to focus on technological solutions to distinguish our activities from those of other youth-focused organizations in Botswana. Yas is cookin up some more techy logos to get this point across.
