Hi Ignifugo

Human castles are made by humans

Each human have its body and features that help in its way to make the 
castle better

Here, you see women participating, they collect their hair to facilitate 
the climbing, example: 
https://monterrassa.cat/cultura/minyons-terrassa-ciutat-tornen-vacances-castells-8-281920/

And there is also a lot of videos online, example: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hknOYSrYHB4

if you want to see more images, use the keyword "castells" or find one 
for a particular one as I did 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell#In_Catalonia_and_Catalan-speaking_regions

Do you want to share a more specific counterproposal of logo?

Cheers,
Pedro
