Open Call for Logos

We are planning an upcoming DBUG Camp (Denver/Boulder) for this summer. We seem to have the technical ability to pull it off but need some help getting a suitable logo in place. In order to do this we are running a logo design contest until June 1, 2008. The winner will have their logo used on promotional materials for the event.

Deadline

Submit all entries by June 01, 2008. Voting will commence on June 02 and will run for one week.

Technical details

The design will possibly be used on various backgrounds (white, black, and even other colors), and will be used in different sizes (a relatively small one on the website and badges, but a noticeably bigger one on signage). We would love submissions which work well with various colors but also with only one color used (for black and white printed materials for example).

Designs should initially be submitted as low resolution JPG or PNG files (height and width 400px maximum). The winning design must be provided either as a vector graphic in Illustrator or Inkscape native format files (.ai, .eps, .svg) or else we will need your help to create the appropriately sized Photoshop or Gimp images (.psd, .xcf) (we need this immediately after selection).

Of course, the entries that are variations on Druplicon are most likely to win.

Legal information

You will be asked to transfer your copyright in the design so it can be properly protected for the benefit of the conference and community. Your design also must not include any other copyrighted materials for which any license is required. Don’t include anything which might possibly cause offense.
