Deadline

Deadline for submissions: Nov 30 2008

Voting

The voting will be held at [http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html CIVS] from Dec 20 to Dec 31 at midnight + 1 second (precisely). BR For instructions on how to vote the selected logos go to the [http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Lumiera/Logos/Selection Selection Page]

Requirements

Some minimal technical requirements will be enforced:

• the basic sign fits a compact rather quadratic bounding box (like 4:3)
• easy to print on various media (on posters, t-shirts, ..)
• simple and essential (basically a shape), using only a small number of solid colours (easy to print)
• should work on different backgrounds, esp. not requiring white background
• the design should scale from favicon to poster size (several versions adjusted to specific sizes are fine)

Besides, we give some artistic guidelines

• it should be recognizable
• it should contain something like a sign, not just "Lumiera" in a fancy font
• it should not rely on transparencies, gradients and subtle shades
• it should work well in different presentation styles

License:

• The creator must allow the Lumiera Project Team to edit and distribute the work under a license of their choice.
• used fonts must be copyleft
• the Lumiera Project may trademark the Logo by itself.
• the proposed logo must not collide with existing trademarked logos

Hints

Need inspiration?

"The name Lumiera is a nod to history and has a soft sound. This points to a traditional and light-handed approach to typography. On the other hand, it shall be a modern, cutting-edge application that is much about precision and performance." (by Thorsten Wilms)

Submissions

What to submit:

• the logo standard version as non gradient vector graphic (mandatory)
• augmented version (with gradients, transparencies..) as vector graphic for non standard purposes (optional)
• rendering examples as PNG with different sizes and backgrounds (optional)
• ideas and sketches
• constructive comments

Note:

• any submission is given to the community thus it may be subject to discussion and refinement
• rough drafts can be submitted: they will be discussed by the community. To enter the voting they will need to be turned into vector graphic source. The community could help on that.

How to submit:

This is the official page for the contest. It' hosted at pipapo.org. To enter your submission edit this wiki as follow:

• Name your image file after you and your logo (e.g. raffa_cross), so to have an easily recognizable filename.

• Upload it on lumiera.org server using our cheerful [http://www.lumiera.org:4000/uploads/index uploader]. Please do not attach image files to this page: it would use too much bandwidth.

• Create a new subpage for the logo, to collect all images and discussion. Enter the main image name (e.g. raffa_cross) here:

  • NewPage(Lumiera/LogosTemplate, Create the new logo page!, Lumiera/Logos)

• Edit this main wiki page inserting a thumbnail of your logo at the top of the Entries list. Remember to use the external link to lumiera.org. Use this template:

|| [[ImageLink(http://lumiera.org/logo_archive/raffa_cross.png,http://www.pipapo.org/pipawiki/Lumiera/Logos/raffa_cross,width=250)]] || '''by raffa''' ||
