    Please I have a very specific question. I ve got opportunity to work on interesting project. Its about realising a logo design for an health organization- it s about health style of life.

    And I have a great idea: The logo may be should contain a some element of the nature and on my mind is some shape of plant or tree etc. But it should be have some deeper sense.

    For that my question to you is:

    Please can you give me an advice, which plant or tree symbolise "LIFE"? "LIVING? HEALTH or some way connected with healthy living?

    For any advice thank you very much!!!!

    Try Platycladus orientalis, that has those associations in China.

    for me at the best way is to use some useful shape of it. For example the leaf- if it will be a tree. But on the other hand thank you very much I ll look to it!

    In Norse mythology Yggdrasil the world-tree, which supports all life, is an Ash (Fraxinus excelsior). It's got a fairly distinctive silhouette.

    The Pine tree has been for a long time a symbol of life and fertility in may cultures and traditions.
    You could use the Pine cone in your design.

    Google "Arborvitae" - literally named "Tree of life".
