A hand-drawn logo for "Fieldnotes" featuring organic, sketch-like lettering in dark green with a textured, watercolor effect. The letter "F" is stylized as a sunflower with an orange center and yellow petals, while the "o" is represented by a snail with a pink spiral shell. Below the main text, "ashley ruba phd" is written in a casual, handwritten font. The entire logo has a white outline, giving it a sticker-like appearance. The design evokes themes of nature, curiosity, and exploration.
