Circus Community

Resources and connections for movement artists

We are a 1-stop site for professionals and students of all disciplines within the circus industry, providing information and news for performing and training around the world (connecting performers with eachother, and helping students and instructors find each other, as well as assisting and inspiring eachother through sharing of accomplishments, information, and art). We also sell equipment, video subscription services, etc. Our target audience are Cirque du Soleil type performers (and their students), equipment suppliers, and training and educational facilities throughout the world.

I'd like to explore the following colors:

Dark neutrals: Formality, mystery, exclusivity and luxury.

I've sketched some ideas in the 1st image, which I'd like you to improve upon to look professional. I've also included some logos of ideas I like.

I'm also considering using silhouettes of aerial acrobat and/or ground acrobat / contortionist poses into the logo, or the shape of the logo; Maybe something symbolic of unity, or community, or the unity sign. I've included pictures of people doing poses as suggestions, but any poses used must be incorporated as solid silhouette, not realistic photograph style.
