The Art of Opera Foundation Logo

The Art of Opera Foundation's mission is the promotion of Opera as a form of contemporary art (as opposed to Art History, as many people treat it). We originally toyed with the idea of making the logo use the word Heart (as in The Art of Opera Foundation) to express this, but found it too difficult to make people understand in a compact mark.

In the end we devised this icon, which is simultansouly a capital O, and open mouth, and beating heart.
