The Absolute Write Logo Contest has begun, and is open to amateur and professional graphic designers.
Deadline: July 25, 2006
The logo must work with the color scheme already in place on our main site (http://www.absolutewrite.com), which is red, white, pale yellow, and blue.
Not a "rule," but a suggestion: avoid the typical writer imagery (typewriter, pencil, inkpot, quill pen, etc.); we're looking for something more memorable. Maybe even a mascot type of logo.
Can't be too full of detail because we'll need to shrink it down to different sizes for banners, buttons, etc.
No stealing copyrighted images, of course.
The winner gets...
* $50 (by PayPal, check, or Amazon gift certificate, winner's choice)
* A free lifetime subscription to the Absolute Markets Premium Edition (www.absolutemarkets.com)
* A free CafePress item of the winner's choice with the winning logo on it, donated by Dawn O'Bryan
* A copy of What Fish Don't Want You To Know by Frank Baron
* A book from Nomad Press's catalogue
* A copy of Stories of Strength, donated by Lisa Abbate of Word Mountain
* An e-book by Emily Veinglory
We'd need the right to use the logo in all in any way we choose (on the site, on items in the Cafe Press store, etc.), and would need you to supply the image in different resolutions so we could do that (printed items need large, high-resolution graphics, whereas on the web, we need smaller, low-res graphics).
The winner will be announced by July 30.
Enter as many times as you like. Just post your entry in the entry thread: http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34134
