This design MUST incorporate negative space. I'm not satisfied with the designs I've seen so far. I've expanded the project to get more designs and designers. The design will need to be able to be used in 1 color but the default will have all colors including a small amount of yellow. This is a refresh and update and modernization of the current logo for downeasters.org - logo. Ideally, it should incorporate some aspects of the BHS barbershop.org logo

You can minimize or simplify the logo as well if that helps with the negative space creation
