I think that by 'organic', they mean a logo with shapes that foloow real-world, smooth forms.

Maybe something along the line of "naturel", "simple", "pur", "dépouillé"... for "organic".
"aérien" comes to my mind for sleek, but maybe it's too much. I understand it as something light and flowing, in the context. Swirly makes me think of "volute".

The company makes sailing yachts. I don't think the term 'organic' refers to anything else other than the logo following smooth shapes (it's just a swirly logo).
Laurence Nerry Mar 31, 2008:
Can't you give us a bit more context about what "organic" could refer to? Is there any link with the company's activity?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This answer fits perfectly in the context it's being used in, as the logo was a re-design and 'un logo soigné et équilibré' might have sounded as though the previous logo was rubbish. I realise now that I should have put that in the context... Thank you so much everyone!"
