AACG polished logo

So, a while back, while in school i had an assignment where i had to look for an old logo, that looked outdated, and i had to make it look new and fresh. Plus! it had to belong to non-profit organization. so i looked around and found AACG; American Association for Crystal Growth.
These guys, are basically a community that gets together and discusses the ways and problems of growing crystals, mainly for scientific reasons. So, i went ahead and took the whole idea of crystals growing out of the logo, and i went with that, while at the same time trying to incorporate all the letters in the middle. so here you see the old logo they had and the new logo i finally came up with. Once it was turned in i was okay with it, but 2 years later i worked on it some more and made it even more sleek looking. I also took a look at my old illustrator files.... wow! they were a mess. groups of things that shouldn't have needed to be grouped and stuff like that, haha no merging of shapes... at all. haha but anyways, today i went to the website after my gf had told me several times tat i should try to contact them and show them the finished product. So i got their e-mail and told them part of the whole story, and basically told them that i re-did their logo and they can be free to use it, if they like it.


So now.... what you've been waiting for, haha... here it is:




so now i wait and see if they even like it, but since i actually went through with it, i thought i would post it. haha. Cross your fingers
