The logo needs to convey the significance and importance of the house.  Because of its outsized role in the relationship, it needs to embody strength, respect and longevity.  

Here is a VR walkthrough of what the museum will look like when completed:  https://www.720yun.com/vr/8b0jz0mfsO4

We're debating about iconography in the logo.  One option would be a balance of Chinese and American symbols focusing on friendship.  Another would be using a stylized version of the outside of the house.  Potentially both (although that would be a very busy logo :) ). 

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE LOGO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE FOR A REALTOR, CONTRACTOR OR SIMILAR.

We're open on color, but it should probably find a way to balance the red/yellow of the Chinese culture and the red/white/blue of the American culture.

We need to be careful with balancing the two cultures.  While the Chinese delegates are the general target audience, we do not want the house/logo to look or feel like it is only representing the Chinese side of the friendship.
