Logo for efloraofindia

[J.M. Garg]

Vijayasankar ji has suggested that we should have a logo for Efloraofindia now.

Logos are requested from everybody in this regard. It will be selected finally by the moderators.

Dear Garg ji

I like Exploring floral diversity of India.
In this case a collage of flowers instead of just one may look appropriate.

I agree with Nalini. Exploring.... and a mix of flowers --- On Thu, 24/2/11, Na Bha <nabha-...@gmx.de> wrote:

there is one technical error. Floral Diversity means, we are not
including plants which dont have proper flowers like gymnosperms and
ferns and fungi!!
It should be something catchy....
frankly I dont like the use of word efloraofindia without gaps.
Atleast on logo it should be separate as "eflora of India".
I would have preferred a good design rather than a simple pic, which
doesnt have that appealing look!! There is nothing so special about
the flower attached in the logo!! In worst case (unavailability of
good pic), I assume I would have gone for our national flower (Nelumbo
nucifera) personally!!
One of the best ways I would suggest would be to have a competition,
asking members to design and the best one would be adopted after
voting. This is how we did in our pets group,

I personally feel that the logo should represent our country and its floral wealth.
Since Lotus is our national flower and indigenous in the country and also considered sacred and part of our tradition, i feel that it will be a better choice.
If possible we may include India map (a small outline only).
I like the caption "exploring floral diversity of India" but with a slight change as "exploring India's floral wealth".
Its just a suggestion only.

(when i finished writing this i saw mail from Dr.Pankaj with similar thoughts about flower choice:)

I was too thinking that it would be nice to incorporate map of India.
If possible, we can highlight various states with the state flower or its color.

And for the title-then i think the Pioneers have already selected the 1st half appropriately.
Lets keep it E-flora of India or something with atleast E-flora there as a prefix to symbolize various efforts of people through the E-source (internet source)!!!
Just a vague thought!! :)

I think the 'e' (electronic) is always written in small letter.
so can it be like this?
e-Flora of India  or
e-Flora India

i hope some of us would come up with a better suggestion and design. (but i am not for collage and too many flowers in the logo, as the logo will always be small in size. A single flower should symbolize our country...you know what it is...)

... and by the time I opened my Gmail to send my choice of logo .... got pleasantly surprised.
However, just because my concept matched coincidentally ... it does not imply that needs be chosen !!!
Please wait for others' contribution.

Attached are various sizes of my artwork.

Instead of map we may also think of highlighting the tri-colour.
I have something in my mind. Will see if I can implement it on a paper
to share but could do only after a few days when I return back to
Dehradun. Still at Gangto, leaving for Delhi tomorrow.

... by the way dear friends, ... did not mean to discourage entries of logos.
My own choice of logo flouts many principles of logo design.
Have attached 4 different sizes of my art to convey one point: the loss of details increases with the decreasing size of logo.
The smallest size "efloraofindia_logo.gif" has most of the colours merging and may not be worth appreciating.
Therefore, the concept of solid colours per element plays a very important role.

Every one is more than welcome to contribute their ideas ... making a final choice is at discretion of Garg ji and moderators.

[Padmini Raghavan]

When the title is"eflora of india" there is no need to repeat the words "flora of india" just below it.

The next line could simply say, "Discussions".

 My suggestion is that brevity is more effective in a caption.

Using Nelumbo is good idea but it is used very commonly. I have some different idea.

We all know that Dr.Sahani of our group has discovered new Orchid. Lets put the flowers of this orchid as logo so that the world can know that genius like him are part of this group.

And add quote from Sanskrit like "Vanaspatiya Jeevansya Adhaarum"

Dr.Arvind or Anand ji can through more light on quote.

If anyone wants to use Butea then it should be rare white or yellow Butea.

[Padmini Raghavan]

I liked Gargji's simple "efloraofindia". It is simple enough to read out to people to whom you want to introduce it to. Saying it was all in "small case" made it easy for the other person to catch on.

The Logo of the Butea was also most attractive and in a lovely bright colour combination which cannot fail to appeal to any casual observer.

It is eye-catching in form and colour (and is a flower I am personally very fond of.)

 Where is the need for any change, I wonder?

Padmini Raghavan.

I was also thinking of Nelumbo or lily. Other flowers which come to mind are Jasmine, kund

and hibiscus. They are all native to our country.

Some photos from my collection are enclosed. They are not necessarily my photos.

About a phrase, I don't know how yoou would react to "A thing of beauty is joy for ever."

Personally I feel the originality of our group should not be changed/diluted. The original logo is fine enough and is we want to highlight its Indian scope we can think of enclosing the original logo within the map of India. Lotus gives a good feeling of Indian links, but I feel it is part of several other groups/organisations.

Lot of confusion ! I also agree with Gurcharan ji.

[C. Susanth]

in my personal opinion is  avoid Lotus..

It has already use in everywhere..especially one political party also adapt it as it's sympol

so use simple native flowers and a simple logo...one line is gud..

agree with Vijay ji and Pankaj ji
nelumbo nucifera with a good back ground and india map. can be in a
circle/ oval or on a leaf shape (can be pipal leaf/ ficus krishnae
leaf, etc).
