Hi and welcome to FWT, @Mahieash! Thanks for the opportunity to help contribute to your cause. One minor clarification, though – when you say you want a graphical logo so that it "does not discriminate any sections of the society", do you mean that you don't want text in it as some might not understand the language used?

 

Hi Dawn, many thanks for taking the time. What I meant by that that I did not want to use any pictures of people or faces that depicts various ethnicities, so would prefer to have a cartoon version of people. I mean we do not need to have people at all, I am just giving a direction in case if anyone wants to use pictures or depiction of people to use it in a graphical sense and not to have real faces. I hope that is clear.

 

Ah yes, that's much clearer now, thank you! I'm sure our designers will be along to give your request a go pretty soon, so do enjoy our forum and try to help out where you can while waiting
