For quite some time, with a break of several years, I am a student of the quite known martial art of Wing Tsun. After my latest success with the logo for @steembay and the winner of the contest @industrialvarez , I heard, that my Sifu is struggeling getting a good new logo for his school. So here we go...

The above shown images are some raw drawings how it COULD be.

There are some requirements to the logo:

• clean and clear design:
  the logo will be placed on shirts, the homepage and certificates and thus has to work on a white, black and red background with white, red and yellow accent to it.
  
  this pic may give you an impression...

• the logo has to work with and without the needed text which is:

Fachschule für Wing Tsun Würzburg Kampfkunst & Selbstverteidigung

• It has to include Wing Tsun Elements:
  Examples: triangle, ying & yang or the plum blossom. Additionally it could include a snake and the crane
  The triangle represents the working with angles in WT
  The plum blossom stands for the footwork
  The Ying & Yang symbolizes the balance between soft and hard reactions to an attack.
  Most of the WT moves derive from the martial arts reffering to the snake and the crane zodiacs.

Note for the crane/snake version :

Using the crane and the snake quickly gets much too detailed, which isn't desirable, as you can see here:

This may give you an impression what works and what doesn't. It's important, that both animals occopie the same space.

On the following images you can see what we came up with, so far, by reducing the animals to their textures (feathers and scales:)

Note for the traditional version:

This tends to be too much information and quickly gets overloaded, which is again not desirable. Even adjusting the proportions of our first version does't feel right...

Important:

I don't want to earn anything with this post, thus I am giving away the rewards to any ideas that bring us closer to a new logo. I will choose those at my will (or the will of my Sifu). So ANY idea is welcome!
The bounty will go to the person or group, that manages to create us THE new logo and is able to deliver it in .ai or .eps format.

GET CREATIVE!!!

Please consider resteeming, for we need as many ideas and as many good designers as possible!
