Our band Só Samba requires a logo that represents us as being from two cultures (Brazil and New Zealand). We play a form of samba called, roots samba - traditional samba. Incorporating roots into the logo could be effective. In terms of colour we think green says a lot about both cultures and the greenstone which is traditional in New Zealand, however it doesn't need to be the main colour. Warm colours that stimulate the senses would be good. It also needs to catch the eye and represent the fun and catchy kind of music that samba is without being cheesy and cliche. Sophisticated and elegant with impact.

We play what is know as roots samba or samba de raiz in portuguese. Perhaps exploring the use of roots in the logo could be interesting.
