My take on this take

As it's mentioned, aspen trees share roots to help each other when someone needs it.

Maybe the chains should be replaced with a broken black stripe to make it less on the nose / more stylish.

    I think the aspen leaf stands on its own and doesn't need an old-school-communism style crossed tools symbol or color scheme. Incorporating the broken black stripe could be good though.

      Maybe the broken-chains-and-leaf could be the “default” and each place adds their own details.

      In the post I reference they said the pickaxe is because of Blair Mountain (the past) and the pen is the future (also both pointing to the left). Otherwise yeah miners are a small minority of workers.

        Thanks for keeping the pickaxe and pen. I think we're reaching perfection with this. I'm gonna do a version with a stripe instead of the chain.
