Kairos: Rhetoric, Technology, Pedagogy: Logo Design Contest
Help Kairos re-envision its look by designing a new logo! The chosen design will be featured on the masthead of every issue as well as on all our publicity materials. In addition to this prestige and visibility of your design, the winner will receive the inaugural t-shirt and mug to feature the new logo.
If you'd like to submit a logo to the contest, please examine the current logo and read these guidelines:
- The logo should reflect the rhetorical concept of kairos, which has always been central to the journal's identity and vision.
- The new logo should "connect" in some way to the old logo (for example: use of color, fonts, style) but does not have to duplicate it.
- Logos should not be larger than 300x100 pixels.
- The logo should be appropriate for use in both Web and print materials. Therefore, we would like you to submit:
- A PNG, GIF, or JPG version optimized for the Web (at least 72 dpi)
- A 600 dpi (or higher) PNG, PSD, TIFF, or RAW file for use in print materials (you may also submit the original vector file if it is smaller than 5M)
- If you use material in the creation of the logo that is not your original work, you must secure appropriate permissions (or use work released through Creative Commons or under the GPL).
To submit your logos:
- place both versions in a Zip file
- write a brief cover email with your name and contact information (email and phone)
- email the Zip file to kcommunications@gmail.com
Deadline is November 1, 2007. Winner will be announced January 15, 2008.
Everyone is eligible to enter. There is no limit on the number of submissions per person. Logos will be posted anonymously for the Kairos staff to judge. All decisions are final. Although the Kairos staff can't imagine this situation occurring, it does reserve the right not to select a winner if no submitted logos would be appropriate.
Questions/queries, please email Erin Karper, Communications Co-Editor, at ekarper at niagara dot edu.
