Hello,

My brew club The Boston Wort Proccessors is having a logo contest. Our current logo is 25 years old and we need a new one. The prize is a 150 dollar gift certificate to a brew shop (local or online) of your choice. If you are new to brewing we will buy you a begginers kit and a beer kit of your choosing.

Never mind. I misread the title and thought this was a "Lego contest"...

I see why you need a new logo. Is that a carboy sitting on a commodore 64?

Amen to that. I'm not even sure its supposed to be a commodore 64 as opposed to a word processor.
Anyway, I'm tempted to just steal your avatar and use that as a logo.

Ouch.. Its a word processor. Our group started at M.I.T. back in the day of FORTRAN and the punch card.

We need help lol !

For any Massachusetts brewers, there will be official signup sheets at Jasper's in Nashua, NH, Strange Brew in Marlboro, and NFG in Leominster.

Does the logo need to be a vector image? I was thinking of doing a 3d logo, which I could render out hi-res, but it wouldn't be vector.

 

[A4J]

According to the link above, it needs to be a vector, and kept to a 2 to 3-color palette

Please submit your logo design as a Vector Graphic (.EPS). We suggest keeping the color palate simple (2-3 colors are preferred).

Feel free to use it, I will even settle for a $75 gift certificate! Change your name to "The lip smacking good wort processors".

A 3-D logo probably would be weird on t-shirts etc.
Ultimately we want to put this onto shwag. So thats why we want a vector image and to keep the color palette simple. Most shops only handle 4-6 colors without lots of extra charges. So I would keep it to 4 colors. Additionally, any really fine detail will just be lost, so its good to skip over that. And, I guess like any good logo, simple goes a long way.
If you have mad artistic skills but can not send us a vector image for some reason, we would consider .jpg gif etc.

 

[cabot]

I work for a graphic design firm here, I create 3d imagery for logos/tshirts/mugs/you name it. I wasn't aware of the file-types you would be able to handle, which was why I asked about the eps. Sorry I probably didn't word my question appropriately. Anyway, question answered nonetheless. Thanks

 

[Edcculus]

Sweet. I'll have to dust off Illustrator. What application should this be geared toward? I'm assuming screen printing so you can do t-shirts etc?

 

[Anthony_Lopez]

Ya... Shirts, hats, stickers, pint glasses... the standard club schwag...

I've never used it but you might want to take a look at http://99designs.com/

You describe what you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay, then a number of freelance artists create designs for you. You select the one you like best and that artist receives the prize.

This sounds interesting. Is the contest open to participants outside the US?

Yes.
Getting you your prize should prove to be interesting, but I'm sure we can figure something out.
