Here's my as yet apparently unsatisfactory logo for the Greater Rochester & Finger Lakes Central Services Association. "Can you like, squish the letters together more, maybe?"
No. No I can't.
UPDATE: I added the Rochester skyline to the logo. It was in my original sketches, but I decided to simplify it and leave it out. "Thoreau said 'Simplify, simplify.'"
