Logo Design Brief
                            We are a San Francisco-based group of people in recovery from addiction. We identify with the "rat park" experiment from the 70s (not an official name, no trademark) in which addicted rats from tiny cages were put in a huge cage with toys, friends, and mates, and rapidly stopped taking their drugs.  We meet weekly for process groups where we talk about emotions, mindfulness, philosophy, etc, and we support each other in living our real lives.  I want a playful logo and have a few ideas I'm hoping you can work into the design: 
1) a circle of chairs.  When we meet in our groups, we just sit in a simple circle, and it's like our safe workspace.
2) Golden Gate bridge (we are in San Francisco)
3) a hamster wheel (ok it was rats not hamsters, but there were toys in rat park!)
4) a slide (maybe the final "k" in "ratpark" could be a slide?)
Other than those, be creative--I'm paying you because I'm not :)  Park-related stuff (swings? teeter totter?), or friendship/support-related stuff (clasped hands?).  Those are just ideas so you get my direction, not requirements at all.  Maybe it would be too busy to have all that.  Please do NOT include any drug/alcohol related images.  Also, the no-space-between-rat-and-park is my deliberate choice, I think it looks more interesting and sounds like an actual group entity rather than an old study.
                        
Target Market(s)
This is for our group's personal use in identifying ourselves to others in recovery. It is not for huge corporate use, but I really hope some of you will work on it anyway!
