No traditional party colors. The Branding theme is going to be Green, Orange and White. If you google the movie Juno and look at the advertised poster, it was orange stripes with some green and other colors. Those colors 'POP'.

Definately a monkey that is exploding with fun character, personality and could be cute. I am thinking maybe just a monkey head....maybe looking like peeking over the top of something with hands pulling it up..maybe the tail sticking up over the head......needs to say FUN. I like the look of the curious chef logo or the GIMP logo from Gimp software. I have attached a doc with the colors and logos that I feel 'popped' to me.....I am not convinced the name has to be in the logo, however would like to see both. ...if possible .....I am open......please be creative........and I cannot wait to see some samples.
