My logo is focussing the joy und positive development of the self-esteem and self-confidence, which a child gets within the program DREAM center.

The child has a benefit while playing through all these creative self-expression-tools, which are concluded in the programm.

These tools are enhancing and improving body as well as mind. This is what is expressed in my logo.

On one hand, it shows the positive physical aspect, the child standing confident with both feed on the ground, opening hands to receive something and to effect something with its own hands.
It is rising its arms like embracing the world, spreading its wings. It seems like it had a powerful great dance and a lot of joy and energy. It is a winning position, after winning a game. A new life is beginning. It remarks the benefit with DREAM center.

On the other hand there is the mental fun aspect in the childs laughing mouth, juggling with various toys, and the joy and happiness it gets while this act of self-expression.
The expression-toys are some sensuous creative instruments like color in dots, brush, musicnotes. The star stands for imagination and dreaming in mind. The child let all pain and bad feelings out like throwing them in the air. So the logo gets its own dynamic by the movement of the arms and the toys.

The graphical style of my logo is a mixture between childish comic and drawing, nothing complex, nothing perfect, like children do themselves and like. It puts a smile on ones face.

My logo is to use in a coloured frame, that reminds on a stamp (chop). It s a sign for self-confidence: “Here I stand and I don’t want to be ignored with all my needs and wishes.
I have the right to enjoy and to be creativ.”

The colorscheme ist flexible, so you can use it in different colors for different requirements and conventions.

The Type “DREAM center” is written in Comic-Style (Comic Sans MS Freefont) to underline the self-made drawing aspect by children.
