>From the CZ Blog: http://blog.citizendium.org/2006/12/08/citizendium-logo-contest/
We're announcing a contest to design the Citizendium logo. CZ needs an upper-left logo, something that looks good in 135px by 135px. Here are the rules and guidelines: Rules (1) Submit as many logos as you like. Mail logos to admin [at] citizendium.org. Please give us some identifying information about yourself (not to be published without your explicit consent), such as where you live and your occupation. If you want a short bio about yourself posted with your logo, send that with the label "public bio." (2) We will post logos here to this blog. All logos will be visible via the "logo" category. (3) On December 2, the Executive Committee will vote on the logo. The committee will be instructed to pay attention to comments, if any, made about the logos here on this blog. (4) The name(s) and, if desired, an appropriate weblink for the designer(s) of the winning design will be posted in the Citizendium FAQ, in our second press release, and here on this blog. This might end up being good publicity for the simple reason that we expect lots of publicity when we launch CZ public in early 2007. Logo guidelines (1) The logo should be simple and elegant and easily reproducible in black and white. (2) Our tagline, "The Citizens' Compendium", is probably important to include at this early stage. The current logo has the tagline wrong. It's not "The Citizen Compendium" and also not "The Citizen's Compendium." (3) What feelings, concepts, etc., should a simple and abstract logo convey? In no particular order: curiosity, intellectual excitement, knowledge, wisdom, precision, reliability, credibility, solidity, collaboration, explosive growth (we can hope!), interconnectedness, freedom.probably not all at once! Thanking you designers in advance! _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
