The members of the Ohio Foreign Language Association recently changed its name to the Ohio World Language Association. The organization seeks a new logo design that casts aside the negative "otherness" attributes of the word "Foreign" and embraces a more inclusive and open perspective via the word "World".
Attached is the current logo.
Maybe one with the letters and one with the name to test.
Colors teal and gold. Blue and green.
Perhaps the shape of Ohio (in the USA) integrated with a world map or symbols of different languages (like "こんにちは," "Hola," "你好").
