Designing an identity for citizenuganda.com

I am having a love affair with design. It was supposed to be a fling, you know, something exciting to pass the time. But you know how these things go. All of a sudden I became possessive and started neglecting my work and my friends to spend more time on my latest design projects. And all this without actually knowing if i am, you know, any good at it.

But the more i think about it, the more it makes sense that i am really getting into design, or at least web design. I love creating brands and identities. Don't call it advertising. It's not always about the money or the marketing. I just enjoy coming up with a clean articulate design that communicates the essence of the brand.

But all to often, i fail to get there. This site for instance is still lacking a brand. Here is a sample of the latest addition to my reject pile.

This logo might work well for another project related to Uganda, but for what i am trying to do here; it is a bit too obvious. Here it is though, available for you to download and use as you like. Just credit this site as the source if you do decide to download it.
