Hobbycultor animation

Hobbycultor is a series of workshops organized for students. It connects people with unusual hobbies with students willing to learn a skill from them (gardening, calligraphy, gift-wrapping, pottery, etc). I was looking for a fun and friendly approach that would let me use the logo on a variety of backgrounds, as well as using the full colour version as an independent eye candy element on some of the visual communication.
