      Hi Danny,
      Great initiative! It’s very interesting project. I’m sure, it’ll be successful!

      Here is my first proposal for the logo. Please, let me know what you think and if I’m on the right direction.
      I’m open to provide you revisions or to create new options.

      Best!

      Hi Darina, like it! Definitely in the right direction, can you create a few other options as well? Why did you select these colors? Any specific reason? Nice evening

      Hi Danny,
      Thanks for the comment and high rating!
      Yes, the colors have a special meaning. I’ve chosen the orange color to represent the Netherland, because it is related to the Netherland’s country, folk and history. I’ve chosen the charcoal color to represent the refugees, because it is a neutral color, but well distinctive and in my opinion it works well with combination of orange color.
      Please, let me know if you have any other ideas or preference about the colors.
      I’ll think about any other concepts and I’ll upload them later today or tomorrow.

      Regarding the website templates, please check out these websites:
      http://startbootstrap.com/template-categories/one-page/
      Here you’ll find some templates for one page websites. You can download it for free, but you’ll have to make the customization by yourself, or to find someone to help you with the changes.

      Here is another website with templates: http://www.weebly.com/themes/ This is a web platform where you can make the customization by yourself. You don’t need to have knowledge from css, html etc.. it is very easy to use it. Actually I’ve built my website via this platform.

      Which font type I would recommend?
      I think that the font style will depends of the website template which you’ll choose. But in my opinion, the sans serif fonts will be preferable and suitable for the strong look of the website.

      I’m open if you have any other comments or questions.

      Best!
      Darina

      Hi Danny,
      Thanks for the comments!
      Here is the reworked option of my first concept. I changed the orange to a bit brighter and distinctive orange color and I revised the human’s profiles a bit. Also I placed the logo on the web template that you’ve chosen, just to see how it works.
      Please, let me know what you think.

      Regarding the fonts.. I like the current fonts on “Agency” template. It is a combination of Sanserif and serif fonts, but I think that it looks very strong. I like that the main text (the serif font) is showing in a bit lighter shade of black.. That makes the whole look very fine and well balanced.
      Best!

      Hi Darina, I prefer the first one that you created, but am not completely sure about the colors, I like that you used orange also to symbolize Dutch, but it feels a little bit cold still, any suggestions on how we can make it feel a bit warmer?
