We are currently taking in designs for the 2008-2009 club clothing! We have a t-shirt contest AND a hoody contest! The deadline for both contests will be on Monday, January 5, 2009 at 11:00 pm. You'll have more than enough time (plus the winter break) to design the logo. We will be ordering t-shirts, hoodies and pants but will need new designs for our t-shirts (on the front) and hoodies (on the back)! You can enter either contest or both.
The winners will have his/her logo plastered on the 2008-09 club t-shirt or hoodies PLUS he/she will receive a club t-shirt free of charge! All entries will be displayed sometime during fencing practice in January (date to be announced later). It will be voted on by the general membership! Yay! Voting will be done anonymously and will be done one week after the deadline.
Here are the rules and criteria for the contest:
1. It may either be a black and white logo OR a colour logo (2 colours maximum can be used -- black ink on white coloured t-shirt counts as 1 colour).
2. It must be a fencing-related logo for the club.
3. It must be an original design. No plagiarism please!
4. It must say somewhere on the design, "UBC Fencing Club 2008-2009" or "UBC Fencing Club 2008/2009".
5. No profanity, offensive remarks or inappropriate content are allowed.
6. The logo may have a combination of words, images or both. It is up to the artist to decide what they want in the logo.
7. Corel (.cdr), Illustrator (.ai) or Photoshop (.eps) files will only be allowed (all files should also be vectored). An additional jpeg or pdf file version of the original design must also be sent, for viewing and voting purposes. We would need a high resolution file so that it would not be blurry when enlarged.
8. Please make the logo at a considerable size so it may be enlarged for the t-shirt (if necessary). We will most likely be printing them off on 8.5 x 11 inch paper for voting purposes so try to make it as big and clear as possible. The logo will be printed on the front centre chest area of the shirt at a dimension no larger than 7 inches by 7 inches (logo can be smaller than 7 by 7 if the artist requests it). The image design for the hooded shirt will be located at the back centre area with a similar dimension no larger than 7 inches by 7 inches.
9. One entry per person. You can enter both the t-shirt and hooded shirt design contest, as long as it is ONE design per contest. No multiple entries allowed.
10. Winning submissions will become property of the UBC Fencing Club.
I suppose that is it for rules. Pretty much anything goes (just nothing offensive, please!) :) Please send us your logo design to our club email address.
Note that this logo design contest is not intended to replace our fencing club's crest logo (the one with the UBC crest with 3 swords). That is our official club logo. This contest is merely for designing an image for club clothing.
If you have any other questions, please drop us an email. :) Good luck to all who enter!!
