or alternatively an arty logo (of one of the keywords) that has been created on a computer with minimalistic elements (and also very few of them only). An image that radiates ease & comfort and nature in a very clean and elegant way. It always needs to be very symbolic for our place.

One more element I would like to add to the list of things I would like to see solely or in combination with one of the others in the logo: a hummingbird!

First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL DESIGN PROPOSALS SENT!
I really appreciate each one and it is fantastic seeing all the creativity.
Yesterday, we had a meeting with a new partner who will join us on the project and afterwards I was sitting a lot of hours with my wife (as she is the other person involved in this project), presenting her all proposals and getting her feedback.
From the beginning we had some specific ideas, e.g. with a lot of details and different elements like mangrove, hammock and canoe included in one image. But now looking at the different proposals and at the fact, that our whole concept will slightly change with the additional partner on board; we realised that we both prefer:
WATERCOLOR DESIGNS WITH A COLOR GRADIENT!
So in case you are not yet furious with me for changing the idea (sorry guys, wasn´t planned at all!) and you want to give it another try then please send me from now on watercolor logos with color gradient.
It always should be really arty (not automatically modern art but also not so old fashioned that it looks like Rembrandt painted it), fresh and elegant. I don´t want to give a direct example, as this would limit your creativity too much, but when going through pinterest, I saw already a bunch of nice ideas, e.g. colorful blots with the logo as negative inside,....
Colorwise there are no limits, but preferable (with) green.

FYI, here is the update of the brief:

11AUG -UPDATE:
Due to a new partnership, the focus have changed a bit. Instead of offering only a few exclusive places; we will now offer as well 2 big dorms for around 10 persons each. But therefore the birdnest-styled treehouses will be put on ice for the moment.
This means as well that the target market will not only be wealthy nature-loving couples but as well young folks and backpackers between 20 and 45 years. So instead of being only an exclusive eco resort, we are now heading more the direction to a unique Jungle Lounge where people can chill out and party at the same time!
BTW, we don´t know yet if we stick with ECO RESORT or will change to something like Jungle Lounge. Anyway, this can easily be changed and please continue writing either ECO RESORT or JUNGLE LOUNGE under MANGOYA. And in case you have a better idea than any of these two, please let me know. All ideas are appreciated!

- THIS WAS UNFORESEEABLE and I am really sorry for having to amend our description in the middle of the contest!

Hello

As per your updated brief i had updated my logo and submitted please have a look and give your precious feedback for new submitted design, and also if you have any more requirement please let us know so we can update on the design on which we are working for you.

Thanks and awaiting for your valuable reply

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

THANKS AGAIN for all the designs! It is really nice seeing all the different ideas.
Due to all your different designs, we are now able to define much better what we are looking for than we were in the beginning of the contest. And although we have received already so many different ones and there are a bunch of really nice ones, we are still waiting for the perfect one. Due to all your different designs, we realised that some of our ideas were not good and are now able to define much better what we are looking for than we were in the beginning of the contest.
Therefore here is now the updated description of what logo design we would like to see:
A catchy image of one of the two key elements: Mango (fruit/tree) or Mangrove (we realized that all others were not really symbolic enough for our place). It should be quite simple but artistic. It could be whatever kind of painting or possibly just some kind of a stylized mango or mangrove-icon. It definitely should not feel too pictorial, too heavy or too much. It should be catchy, feel fresh and elegant, and the most important, it should have that certain something!
Hope our explanations are helpful and really looking forward to any new design ideas.
In case you have any kind of question, please don´t hesitate to write us.
Best regards
Marc
