Sketch Time

So I have my pictures and I see the correlations between images from each country and I have an idea of where I want this logo to go. However, the work for me is not nearly close to finished. I also have to research words and meanings from each country and develop ONE word containing the words of all three countries...I know, It's confusing.

On the other hand, I took my pictures into photoshop and started to sketch over concrete shapes that appealed to me. However, I did not like how they looked...I guess Im picky. I feel that I could make them look more appealing if I myself drew them, rather then using the tools in photoshop. Also, it was taking me longer to sketch over the photo itself, line by line. Basically, it would look better and be more efficient for me to draw out my sketch ideas and then scan the images.

Therefore, the next images you will see will be the images of my sketch ideas for a logo.
