Scrapaholics have been going since 2001 and when we began I saw this logo that faded and thought it would be a good idea to do it with scrapbook pages. Little did I know what a nightmare it would be for my web guy! So I have decided that we need a new logo which is more in style with the Scrapbooking market of 2007 (although I know we are soon to be in 2008 gulp!) I looked at various companies that design logos and even tried a few out but they just dont get what we do so then I got to thinking that there are lots of really talented designers within our Scrapbooking community so why not try them. So I am setting a competition to design the new Scrapaholic logo, the prize will be a place on the Bumper weekend at Newport Pagnell in August 2008. This is a 3 night & 3 full days scrapbooking retreat worth £340 or you could opt for £100 in cash if you cant make the weekend. There will be a couple of runner up prizes too!
The closing date will be 29th October at 6pm the winner will be announced by 31st October by email and a notice will be put on UKS with a sample of the winning logo.
For the web: ideally I want a small logo that can be displayed in the top left corner of my site (like UKS), with dimensions no larger than 200 wide by 100 deep. However a logo should be reusable for any purpose. To achieve this, this logo needs to have the following characteristics:
A white or transparent background with well defined edges. This means that the logo should NOT have a fade to white like the existing logo.
The logo should have a colour and a black and white version. You should be able to use the same logo on printed material, t-shirts etc
The logo should scale well; it should look good as a small web logo, on a business card or on a wall-sized poster.
A logo should not be over complex or over drawn. Simple logo's are easy to remember.
The logo should be provided in a scalable format e.g. a vector Photoshop file, not as a JPG image.
Please submit your entry by email to begin with, if you win then you will need to supply a hard copy on disc so as to retain the size/format etc. Please email to sarah@scrapaholic.co.uk ensuring you have your full name and phone number in the email please put Logo Comp in the subject heading.
Anything I've missed out please let me know.
Happy designing and good luck!
