I have one entry for the logo competition so far and that's mine. Could you let me know if you intend to enter the competition. Thanks.

The Entries Are In

I will be posting the logo competition entries very soon. I am still working on a rating system so that we can get your opinion before members vote on a winner at the AGM.

Logo entries closing soon

Thanks to everyone who has sent me entries. I have about 5 now. I need all entries in by the next meeting 1st July so that I can get them on display for June during which time members can vote.

Change in Dates?

Just a little technicality. Have the logo comp. dates changed from the original?

From your original post
Closing Date
Entries must be submitted for judging before 1st July 2009. Judging will take place throughout July and the winner will be announced at the AGM on 29th July 2009 at Newcastle Souths Leagues Club

I'm not worried about it either way but have asked my Nephew in the USA to have a look at it and gave him the first quoted dates.

Cheers

Adriaan

My apologies Adriaan, you are correct. You Nephew has till the 1st of July 09. Thanks for pointing it out.

some help on logo design

Here is some interesting pointers on things to consider when designing a logo. Perhaps this might stir up some of the hidden talent out there.
This link is a great ideas web site with step by step guide on how the professional designers go about being creative:
http://www.ideabook.com/tutorials/logo_design/stepbystep_logo.html

The following is from one of the many web sites out there that has helpful information on what elements go towards making a good logo:

When it comes to seeing a logo that makes you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that?”, what exactly is it about the design that gives you that impression?

There are five elements that can be seen in every iconic logo:

It’s describable
It’s memorable
It’s effective without colour
It’s scalable i.e. works when just an inch in size
It’s appropriate
Points one and two go hand-in-hand, because if you can’t describe what a logo looks like then how will you be able to remember it?

Point number three is important because colour is secondary to the shape and form. I always leave colour to the end of the design process, because if the mark doesn’t work in black only, no amount of colour will rescue it.

Point number four is vital for collateral, such as office stationery (pens, pin badges etc.) — all those little things that can easily be overlooked.

Lastly, the design must be appropriate for the business it identifies. This is accomplished through in-depth research into the industry involved, and helps to differentiate from closely associated competitors.

After Billo's comment, may I

After Billo's comment, may I suggest that any new logo designs are judged alongside the old logo. In otherwords the old logo can be voted back in!

Logo judging

Great idea Adriaan. Now if someone could send me a copy of the old logo, in a form that can be displayed for judging I'll happily submit it.

Great work JOD

Thanks JOD.

You know I never realised that the rogallo wing was formed by looking through clouds. By coincidence I have used a similar design concept.

Adriaan, this might be the easiest $100 bucks you ever make.

Hey if that's the case, consider it donated to the Christmas party for extra supplies!

Old logo

Who's we and why weren't they at the meetings(note the plural here) where the motion to have a logo competition was discussed and carried?

I'll have a stab at it, but I

I'll have a stab at it, but I think I should join the club first! I think something got messed up with my membership and I have to either renew or join. Not sure how, can we do it on line?
