Its really cool.

art is what you see in it ... but ... I really don't see that ... its a great deal with simplicity and clever creativity ... I like that !!!!

I agree with Nathantrafford the black figures are looming over the hunched white figure that represents the child. Perhaps its the number of adults in relationship to the single child that is unsettling or the child's pose.
But IMO the child's pose gives the impression that he or she is afraid. The child's shape could have a phallic nature as it is protruding upward from the ground. Therefore, I might explore other child shapes that include arms. This will eliminate both the phallic nature of the logo that some see and perhaps portray a more caring tone. Hope this helps.

Maybe incorporate more support and hope like this example.

looking at it now, the color DOES add to the feeling of ominous, and there is nothing racial behind that at all. How are bad guys often portrayed in cartoons? All black (not their skin, more like a shadow), where all you can see is there eyes. It's not a racial thing. Robbers often pull dark masks over their faces where all you can see is there eyes and mouth. Dark is shadows, unknown, and fear. Light is vision and understanding. You can find racial things in whatever you want, but I guarantee you there is nothing racial about what I'm saying. It's the same thing as green meaning go, or purple meaning royalty. It's when people apply these meanings to categories of people that it is a problem.

David, I was using color here as an identifier to illustrate my point earlier. However, colors are connected to emotion. The color black is also associated to mourning and funerals and these figures give off an ominous tone because of several reasons. First, there is no connectivity between the small figure and the crowd of figures. Second, the balance, proportion and scale between the spacial relationships is off. Therefore, It isn't about black or white as much as it is about scale, proportion and balance. Visually the dark shapes far exceed the space given to the child and I think it gives off a sense of uneasiness and thus the unnerving tone. My comment was meant as a helpful critique further elaborating on previous comments about the creepy vibe and explain the comments about the phallic symbols since the designer had asked "where".

very interesting

Simon, you are exactly right that everyone sees what they want. Which can be good and equally as bad if not worse. Which is why I sent the sample above in my previous comment. This logo leaves it's self open to a lot of negativity. Hence all the comments and controversial from your fellow designers...
