The Minnesota Naturalists' Association (MNA) is a non-profit organization of professional environmental educators, park rangers, naturalists, interpreters and volunteers throughout the state of Minnesota and beyond.
The Minnesota Naturalists’ Association exists to advance natural and cultural resource interpretation for the purpose of fostering wise stewardship of all resources.
Each year, MNA hosts an annual conference and we are interested in commissioning a logo to give legs, vision and depth to our overall conference theme for 2013:
"Drawn to Nature"
The conference this year will have an art theme and focus. We selected "Drawn to Nature" as a nod to the literal art connection but also as play on what many of our organizational members feel about their profession-that they're "drawn" to it because they are drawn to nature and nature education.
We're recruiting a variety of mediums from performance art, storytelling, etc. to mediums like digital art, sculpture, painting, photography and much more. We hope to recruit keynote speakers such as photographer Jim Bradenburg or radio host Garrison Keillor.
We're especially interested in a logo that can speak to art in the literal sense but also combine nature-the art nature displays for us-the patterns in spider web, sand dunes, wind drifts, dappled light through a tree canopy...
The logo should include the text of our theme: "Drawn to Nature" as well as "MNA Conference 2013" or something similar. We plan to use it for mugs and conference swag.
For more information about our organization, please visit our website: www.mnnaturalists.org. Please especially view the Events-Annual Conference-Past Confereneces tab to see our logo and conference information from last year to get an idea of what we selected last year.
Updates
Hi Designers: I just uploaded a file: our selected conference logo from last year. Last year's conference had a geology theme. Hopefully that helps! Thanks for your patience too.

Requirements
Must have
- Must blend nature with art or vice versa...be creative!
Use 3 or 4 colors max for ease in screen printing, etc.
Nice to have
- The shape of the state of Minnesota is so interesting and beautiful, could that be worked into the logo somehow? It always reminds me of a tree with a large base and canopy...
