Original journal post about the contest: [link]

SkadooMedia.com is a web hosting and web design/development brokerage company. We seek out the perfect designer/developer for each client as well as to provide affordable and feature rich hosting for all projects.

We are in need of a fresh Logo Design to act as a springboard in the SkadooMedia.com branding and website design process.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a design that includes a dynamic, but SIMPLE Logo that can be used in all manner of media. The logo should be one to three colors and should be easily recognizable in black/white printing. The logo should be presented along with the company name, though it should be able to stand alone as well.

What colors should be used?

We do not wish to stifle creative efforts with one specific color scheme. Let your imagination run wild...or calm...whichever you prefer.

Please keep in mind that designs presented in 3 or more schemes will more likely be considered.

What about copyright? Who will own the design?

We desire full copyright so we may reproduce and use the logo whenever and where ever we need it. You can, however, use the logo in any portfolio related self-promotion as long as it is clearly shown that the design belongs to our company. We will also credit you and/or your design company in a credits page on our website.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to practice your design, build your portfolio, and gain some free advertising in the process.

The design should be submitted in what format?

Please, for your own protection, submit all designs in jpg form with your own watermark or the dA watermark. We will not consider submissions without a watermark.
REMEMBER! The winning design should be available in a VERY LARGE, VERY HIGH-RESOLUTION (at least 300 dpi) form. (tiff, png-24, & psd are all acceptable formats...you may also offer an Adobe Illustrator file as well, but this is not required.)
