A logo that I am having a difficult time to grasp for some reason. Give me some insight! Thanks!

A couple of things.

I would take out the effect you have on the word green. It give a weird feeling and balance. On the first two, the word city of buffalo are spaced by force, I would change that.

Also the mark, it gives me the feeling that those arrows are trapping the word, kind of like not letting it breath and restraining it, I don't think that's the feeling you wanna convey.

dsauna,

I will remove the effect on "green", i just tried to spice it up with a little bit of style. I will have to remove that anyway when it becomes printed, one way or another. and the words "city of buffalo" do seem forced. this is why i just can't grasp this design.

i totally feel what you are saying with the world not breathing. do you think i should use the earth, or no?

I think you need to have a stronger mark, maybe the first mark that you have has some potential if you work more on it. Take a look at logopond.com, and see what other people are doing to get some inspiration.

Hope this helps

I do not think that you need an icon as you already have the leaf in the word green but I like the word green however I do see how it gives a weird effect it almost makes team look italicized so maybe try a different font?

Take out the recycling icon. Take the leaf, enlarge it and put it to the left of Green Team.

To many fonts and too much going on. What is this logo for, exactly? Is it a recycling program?
