LOGO contest! :)

30 January 2012 - 04:26 PM

Alright folks... Kitelife has been in semi-upheaval for several years now, and in the process of reinvention we've officially drafted the services of both David Hathaway and Spence Watson who have worked with (and tolerated) me to put together a very solid and effective format which is currently being built for our new web site (looking to launch in 30-60 days if all goes well)... We're certain you'll find it to be fresh, thorough and much more accessible (tasty) than our previous attempts.

With this, I think we're in need of a new logo to celebrate the transition into a modern news ezine.

I'm officially opening up a LOGO contest to draw on your collective talents and vision of what Kitelife is meant to be. :)
  • Proportion should be wider than it is tall (maybe 2x1)
  • Use only 3-4 colors, easy for printing, etc
  • Bonus points for a meaning or sense of something in the imagery
  • No fine details - simple and eloquent
EASY - All submissions can be posted directly this forum topic, or to our Facebook page! :)



PRIZES:

Winner: Lifetime Subscription to Kitelife.com, and a kite yet to be determined from our prize inventory (fair value).

1st Runner Up: 1 year Subscription.

2nd Runner Up: 6 month subscription.




DEADLINE:

All submissions are welcome starting NOW, through February 20th... We reserve the right to extend the drawing if necessary.




TERMS:

As we review submitted logos, artists who have made a good visual impression with us may also receive a sneak peek at the new site to further their creativity.

Some consideration will given to artists who can provide their logo in AI format (Adobe Illustrator CS3 or higher), or those with logos that can easily be recreated using AI.

Final winners will be decided by the Kitelife staff, logo then becomes the sole property of Kitelife and prizes awarded (shipping at our expense).

On your marks, get set, go - can't wait to see the first wave of ideas!

"Designed by Frank Schwiemann and licensed to G-Kites, the Ghost has long been a festival favorite. They are ideal for all kinds of wind and will lift tube tails and line art. Put a white one up at night and you'll quickly see why people call them "ghosts". "

Easy to fly, very stable, wide wind range, and BEAUTIFUL in the sky. :D
