I am trying to find/remember a logo with two interlocking hands in a kind of yin and yang way (i.e it has rotational symmetry (within a circle, I think). Think it might be a UK logo but I’m not absolutely sure. Anyone know it?

Haven’t got a clue, just know that it’s two hands interlocking in a rotationally symmetrical fashion.

There are literally myriads of logos with two hands:

Just a sample:
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee
Declaration of Independence Film Festival
Nice one: Logo by Christian Palino (>Logo Marks>top left)
Helping Hands Ministry
National Association of Black Accountants
Or the SED logo? No, not very much Yin&Yang in it … ;^)

The one I’m thinking of is based on a circle or ellipse and the hands are not shaking as such but flowing into each other. The whole thing has rotation symmetry.

Not that it helps, but I can bring to mind the one you’re talking about, Nick. Smoothly rounded curvilinear fingers, right? One white hand, one black... I’ve definitely seen it somewhere. I’ll have a look in “A Smile in the Mind” later to see if it’s in there somewhere...

I can picture it too. Counselling… advice… legal… ?

I think I MIGHT have been thinking about this old CRE logo, but I’m not sure.

Four hands in a fireman’s carry - I definitely remember seeing that but can’t put my finger on what it was for…

Insurance company?

Hmm, the CRE one isn’t what I was thinking of, but it’s Nick’s question!
It wasn’t in “A Smile in the Mind”, nor in the “Logo Font & Lettering Bible” so wherever I did see it was probably in actual use...

Frustrating.

Ah finally! Found it! (At least the one I was thinking of)

That’s the one I was thinking of - just couldn’t put 2 and 3 together…

Not the one I was thinking of I’m afraid.

The one I’m thinking of has just two hands. They are the same hand rotated through 180 degrees. It is within a circular device. May well be a UK logo, as I already said. Aaargh!

Not it but much closer to the one I have in mind.

See if this link will do work for you: http://logoblink.com/2008/02/23/logos-hands/
There is one in black and red which might be what you’re looking for.

That black and red one is certainly very close to what I was visualising: but I guess Nick’s hoping to find who it is that actually has a logo like that... Quite frustrating!

I was thinking of a very similar logo. I came across this one on my travels:

http://www.fontana.org/images/environ/reuse_logo.jpg

to be honest the one I had in mind had two hands.

Dave (dtw), that’s ’exactly’ (I think) what I had in mind but whose logo is it???
