logo « rose des vents »

Why too easy? They're talking about 'healthy directions', so surely a compass is an ideal image to use?

logo boussole/ compas

The logo shown in Asker's webref shows a 'rose de vents', as suggested by Tony. But if the logo of the organization referred to in the source text actually shows a 'compass', then it could be either a 'boussole' (used to indicate north) or a 'compas' (used to draw circles).

If the source text does not clarify this, then Asker should consult her client, because a mistake would render the translation ... errrr... silly.
