Create a brand logo for traditional Pacific Ocean voyaging society.

Tonga Voyaging Society

The Tongan Voyaging Society is driving the renaissance of traditional Polynesian ocean voyaging and celestial navigation in Tonga by providing our young people with training, experience of ocean voyages. We promote our culture, our connection to the sea, and our traditional knowledge and principles of environmental conservation and management.

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Reds: Energy, action, passion and love.
Let designers make suggestions:
Oranges: Creativity, adventure and happiness.

We want to use the logo as our identity and redesign and rewrite our web communications on our website that will have more interactive content and seek to inspire people to become members or donate.
The original logo incorporates an image of a traditional Tongan vaka. The shape of the sail is the most important icon for use in the logo. It is instantly recognisable to islanders as a vaka sail.
