Dear Council friends!
Soon I will be travelling to Greece for the European Council Network
Gathering. I am happy and excited to be there again. You and the Czech circle will be in my thoughts and heart! Of course you could still decide to come...
If you cannot be with us in person, you might want to think of a few
ways of how to still connect with us:
* think of us while we are there and send your energy. I will surely be
thinking of you and sharing about Council in CZ.
* send us a short note: a picture, a quote, a thought to keep in mind, a
dedication for the meeting, a sentence to connect... Send it to me via email and I am happy to forward
it to the circle.
* donate: even a few Euros will support the Gathering and the growing of
Council in Europe (do so via the donate button here:
http://europeancouncilnetwork.ning.com/)
* send a design idea for the ECN logo. See all the details about that at the end of this email.
* ...
I hope to sit in circle, dance, sing and play with you soon: at the
Gathering in Greece, at the end of November in Prag or elsewhere.
With a smile, Katrin.
Break out your pencils, pens and imagination...
We ask for your participation in co-creating a logo for our network and
foundation. We don't have to have one, but we thought it well to have
something that would symbolise our work simply and clearly to the world
and have on our websites and foundation paperwork.
Guidelines for creating a logo
The symbol is ideally two colours, maximum three. The colours could be any
from the Ning or website colours, as shown on the swatch below and... don't feel boxed in, feel free and enjoy. You
dont have to do it perfectly, be an artist or a graphic designer, and
you don't have to be over 18! A designer from the network will work up
your design and make it look professional, if it is thought that, with
your permission, it would work better. You don't have to get the colours
right or exact because we can do that too.
Firstly have fun...
Think about what the network means, what you see it as being in the future,
where it has come from, dream on it, meditate or just don't think about
it, get a piece of paper and ask the spirit of council to move your
hand, give you a picture or if not today, write a love letter to someone
instead!
When you have something you like, (you can do more than one) please send
a picture or a scan to us in an email, to spiral and we will bring them
all to the ECN gathering in Greece, where all people present can choose
the 3 they like the most. Then, we will have you, the whole ECN, to
make the final choice amongst the three last options, more info will
come in a newsletter after the gathering in Greece.
Please mail the scans/photos to spiral-...@yahoogroups.com. Please ensure each file does not exceed 2mb, thankyou.
So if it grabs you, start today.
The closing date is 25th October.
