I also prefer the one of the top-right corner of these four options. On the off-chance the designer is willing to incorporate feedback, I wonder what it might look like with the red circle suspended higher and a Doug fir tree centered, more like this one: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Cascadia_logo.svg.

The OCD side of me is slightly distracted by the off-centered red circle, and I wish it were slightly more reminiscent of the Doug fir (Cascadia) flag, but my critique is delivered as someone who has no ability to do graphic work in any capacity. I appreciate that someone has offered to deign logos on our behalf and thank them for their time and assistance! :) I will be happy with whatever we choose based on consensus.

Well done!

Hi Cascadians,

Please check out these logos and voice your preferences. The early favorite from tonight's discussion is the logo in the upper right corner of this image file.

We need a decision by end of day Wednesday so that the website can be updated Thursday, and so that I can print business cards on Thursday, in advance of the workshops on Friday and Saturday.

Thanks!

Pine

I presume that this is an image of the flag to which Jason & Mako are refering: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Cascadia.svg

That image is CC-BY-SA-2.5,2.0,1.0. So if we take the image of the tree, I believe we would need to acknowledge Alexander Baretich. However, if we take it as inspiration & create somewhat different version of a conifer, well, that's a different matter.

Yours, Peaceray

I don't mind the off centered circle but I had the same thought about the tree. The flag tree is also a bit more iconic as opposed to representational (i.e., one color) which I think makes it look a little bit better as a logo.
