Focus on one or both of the following: 
1) &quot;Legacies&quot;: Ideas of history, tradition, heritage, leaving legacies for other generations. It should be fresh though -- not stuffy (eg/ no big leather bound books or images that convey a library or museum). 
 
2)&quot;Juniper&quot;: Juniper trees are typically strong and durable and provide shelter during winter months. They are often the first to take life in old fields. Branches with needles/berries. 
 
Some ideas (but not tied to these): books, pen, paper, ink. Juniper tree (on a lakebed) or branch/berries from Juniper tree. 
 
Colors 
Greens, pinks/dusty roses, purples, burnt oranges. 
 
Tagline that can be included in logo (in addition to company name &quot;Juniper Legacies&quot;): 
Recall, preserve, and share the stories of your life.
