Create a Logo for Change!

Hello my friends and fellow deviants;


I am SOOOO excited to bring you this next project. :drum roll please:
I know you can do better than me!!


Create an Icon/Logo for Change
This is a Logo Design Competition

T.E.A.C.H.

To
Educate
About
The
Consequences of
Homophobia

In conjunction with Mary Lou Wallner-- creator and founder of T.E.A.C.H. an organization specializing in encouraging parents to accept and love their gay children, the Community Projects Gallery :community: is hosting a "Create an Icon/Logo for Change" contest!

I contacted Mary in November after reading her story in People magazine. Her courage and strength is an incredible source of inspiration. She has chosen to fight against all odds against two sides that could literally slay her! The religious right, and the anti Christian. What courage she has and after losing her daughter to suicide, being surrounded by such hatred and controversy.

I knew without a shadow of a doubt that :devart: would be the place we could get something done. I went to her web site and it was drab, lifeless, no logo, nothing. Just the incredible message this woman is desperately trying to pass on. Unconditional Love. What could I/us give her? Our art of course!!

This contest is for the logo, but I am also looking for Web design and anything else we might conjure up!! When I discussed this with her you could hear the joy, perhaps tears in her eyes that we would do such a thing. She just wanted to see us spread the news, awareness is the key to change. She is very excited. It was hard to put this on hold until the new year!

Mary was featured in the Nov 19th People Magazine, and her story is highlighted and featured in the 2007 Movie "The Bible Tells Me So" which has won the:

Kathleen Bryan Human Rights Award 2007
HBO Audience Award 2007
Sundance Grand Jury Prize 2007 (nominee)
Outfest Audience Award 2007
Seattle Film Fest Award 2007


Mary and I are very excited to propose to you this Icon/Logo contest.

This is a site wide and crosses all galleries applicable.

this is great! i'll definitely be helping out!

one question does wonder my mind though: the logo we re meant to design, where is it going to be used? is it gonna be the 'new' logo for the organization or only used for merchandise kinda things? also.. are there any technical things one should look for in terms of the design, eg.: limited amount of colours, must be vector, what size must the logo be able to be viewed at?

i think even though everyone should give this a go, these questions are important ones if the outcome is supposed to find real-world application.

all the best.

Great questions!

It will be her new logo to do as she chooses... merchandise, masthead for stationary etc. If we need specifics when time for marketing of said products then we would allow her do choose which way is best to do that. The purpose of this contest is for the design ;)

Now, professionally speaking, I would consider all of the finer points of logo design. Some off the top of my head would be:
Easy duplication
Can it be stitched (on a hat or polo shirt)
Easily Silkscreened or would details get lost
Too busy for stationary?
One for stationary and one for marketing?
etc etc

There will also be addons as the contest warms up, perhaps some web banners and ideas.

There are no color specifications as of now and will not be for this contest. We have carte blanc
I would like to see anthro, textart,cartoon, traditional, digital...gee fractal could whip something up too! Spread it around please and keep the questions coming. Feel free to note me because I might see it faster.

Thanks :)

Just a quick question, would it matter where the winning artist resides (I, for example live in Australia) to send the shirts hats and other things?

Are the points separating the letters mandatory ? Is there some practical constraint ?

I am not very proficient with logo design and i have no real vector tool, but I can propose one of my conceptual photos I have here, if she want it to illustrate her site.

This sounds like something worth doing doing, if not for her, but because it is the right thing to do.
Count me in.
