2009 PDA LOGO Challenge

[Kim Newberg aka imagesbykim]

Hi Everyone,

PDA Logo Challenge.

Some of you are reading this here first, that’s right it’s a PDA Logo Challenge.

I want to have a fun art logo for the site and why not let the members create it!

Here is the info:

Logo must be made up of three pieces.

Digital or non digital are both acceptable mediums.

1. A full size 8 x 10 (approximately) Art Creation created digitally or non-digital art scanned at 300 dpi
2. A banner 100 pxls x 760 pxls
3. A square Avatar 150pxls x 150 pxls

The 3 pieces don’t necessarily have to be the same but complimentary to each other would be important.

Images used in the creation must come from this site or be hand created by you using paints, fabric, texture etc.
No images from any other sites no matter how copyright free they are.

Art creations should be a reflection of what this site is about, what it represents to you.

May include text/words, but please keep in mind that we need room to add PDA info currently shown at the top of this ning network

Deadline is April 25 with a one week vote.

All entries will be posted on the PDA blog for a voters’ choice.

The winners Entry will be displayed in banner on the PDA Ning and on the PDA Blog as well as any other sites created within the year.
The Avatar will be used for advertising and promotional purposes.
Plus, we will be setting up 2 product selling sites on Zazzle and Café Press for PDA so that we can sell mugs, T-shirts, greeting cards etc with our new logo on it.

Winner gets bragging rights for an entire year as well as have the option to let us use the logo for product sales and receive 50% of all net profits of the Sold products created with the logo from both Zazzle and Café Press for the current year or until a new logo has replaced theirs. Please have a read on each of those sites to understand what the net profits would be on each site. We will probably work with a 25% markup on all items so a 50% net profit share would be equal to approx 12.5% the markup only.

Non winners and winners at the end of the one year term may choose to offer their art on products for sale in the two PDA shops and receive 25% of the net profits from the sale of their items. (6.25%)

Example:
If a t-shirt costs $10.00 and we add a 25% markup, the selling price would be $12.50
Net profit would be $2.50
50% of the markup is $1.25
25% of the markup is $0.63

The remaining profits will go back to help maintain the cost of the 2 PDA shops.
PDA will open 2 paid full sites (not the free sites)

Plus we will have some fun tripped out products made with your art!

Once the winner has been chosen, we will have a workshop on setting up your own stores. Workshop date to be announced after April 25th.
This workshop is to get us as members to open our free Zazzle and Café Press shops as well as have the PDA stores on both sites.

You may enter logo sets as many times as you like.

Must be in complete sets of the 3 sizes.

I can’t wait to see some samples!

Happy creating!

Hi, here are my entries :-)

Not sure if this really fits for a logo, but I thought I give it a try anyway :-)

Artwork (I upload a smaller version so people with a slower connection don´t have to wait forever. A larger file with 300dpi can be sent to you, Kim):

I have three sets of an icon/banner to go with this piece:

SET 1:

SET 2:

SET 3:

Constructive feedback is always appreciated!

Best wishes to all,

Valeriana

So beautiful~ I'm not skilled enough with this computer to make an entry for this but I like to see what beautiful ideas others come up with !

[Valeriana Solaris]

Thank you so much, Kay and Kim :-) I forgot to follow this thread, and just noticed you had replied. I am really happy you like them :-)

Hi Valeriana,

The challenge is now closed and you are the only participant for this year.

I will be posting an announcement sometime this week and I will look at setting up the Cafe Press and Zazzle shops soon too.

So give me a few more days and I will let you know everything.

These are fabulous banners/logos and I look forward to posting them everywhere!!!!

Thanks so very much!

Kim and Valeriana - this is too funny - today on my plum tree I saw 2 red birds that I have never seen before. At first I thought they were cardinals, but then I realized they had black wings. I thought they looked familiar but I had no idea what they were so I checked the internet and found out they were Red Tanagers! The same bird that is in Valeriana's banner! That is too funny LOL - I think it will be a good omen.

[Valeriana Solaris]

Lydia, this is too funny indeed! :-) And Kim, I am happy my banners will be used :-)

[Pat Upton]

Congrats Valeriana! The banners are indeed quite lovely! Well deserved!

[Valeriana Solaris]

Thank you, Pat :-)
