Logo Design Brief
We need a new logo.
We are based in China.
Our logo will be used for a WeChat public platform.
The English title is:
Living Gestalt Community
Gestalt refers to Gestalt therapy.
You can for instance refer to another website of ours to see more about Gestalt: www.learngestalt.com.
Or you can view our Gestalt in a nutshell videos:

Based originally on Gestalt psychology.
There is also something in Gestalt therapy called the Gestalt cycle of experience:

Anyway, the point is, Gestalt therapy is kind of cool. Its about aliveness, authenticity, living fully and creatively, being an author of your own life, living choicefully, experiencing life fully, having good boundaries, being able to engage in what is called I-thou connection

Gestalt is about living with awareness.
Gestalt is about living with the Tao.
Gestalt is about completing unfinished business
//////
So, the Chinese name for our centre is:
玩形圈
Which means, play-stalt (playing on, Gestalt) circle
So themes are:
Awareness
Playfulness
The Tao
Completing unfinished business
Authentic connection
Choicefulness and autonomy
Anarchy and doing what is right for you, not living up to others expectations
Living fully
//
So the logo needs to be standalone.
And, then also the text, both English and Chinese somewhere in there as well.
Here is our logo for our current Gestalt club attached
You see, we would like to incorporate notions of Tao - circle, (kind of like Enso), yin-yang.
Also included the logo we have for the Learn Gestalt page
// We have workshops, training, therapy, groups, long term professional training programs
//
Off you go, have some fun with it.
Target Market(s)

Requirements
Must have
- Flair, integration, coherence, playfulness, and good design. And if you look at the BEAUTIFUL Enso I have included at the end, it would be great to use this, with some adaption
Nice to have
- Good to use a circle, in some form. You can see the sample of the Enso - this is a more Chinese style, than a western clean and neat. But the Enso is endlessly used, so its just an idea to spark off
Should not have
- Do NOT use the previous logos. They are just to give you an idea of the logo we designed for our club. This obviously needs to be different
