openness, movement, ambition and a sense of natural harmony.

This is the message that the Slovenes want us all to get from their European Union Presidency logo.

    Do you see Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Ether?

The outline of the logo for Slovenia’s Presidency of the European Union resembles an oak leaf, which reflects the solid, persistent, dependable character of Slovenes, a people who are cool under pressure and thoughtful in their decisions. Oak wood represents high quality, as for example when used in wine barrels. [More: http://www.eu2008.si/en/The_Council_Presidency/Symbol/index.html 

The chosen logo is from Robert Kuhar.

It is amazing what some designers can put into an image but I suspect very few people see much of it.
