Your interpretation of the Yin-Yang symbol on the website
Published on 05-15-2011
"Karen_Charleswo" - this is their first post.
Please forgive this 'out of the blue' contact, and I hope you'll be able to help me - but if not, no problem!
I'm a first-year acupuncture student, and I'm currently writing an assignment on the way in which the yin-yang paradigm has been integrated into Western acupuncture. I note that your website uses the yin-yang symbol in an interpretive way - the circle is divided into two using a form that could be a figure or a tree.
So I was wondering why you've chosen to represent the yin-yang symbol in this way? I wondered if you might be able to tell me a bit about your reasoning - maybe how it relates to the Yin Yang House philosophy, or how you feel it speaks to your membership/clients?
If you feel able to respond, I'd be very pleased to hear from you.
Thank you!
Karen

Dear Chad,
That's brilliant, and very helpful - thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my query. If I can ever help you out similarly, please just let me know.
All the best,

Well I wish I could give some profound answer but really I chose it because I liked the way it looked. Certainly the idea was to integrate some aspect of community building into the symbol. I more or less had to stick with the yin yang symbol generally because I've had the business name for over 10 years now and don't want to change it.
If you are interested in the work we did with the artist who built the logo - this thread - has all of our correspondance and other alternative graphic ideas.
