Logo design contest! '09 Fest

VeeDubTDI · April 7th, 2009, 11:58

Calling all artistic minds! We're going to have a logo design contest for this year's TDI Fest. The logo will appear on the t-shirts, banners, promotional materials, and of course, the TDIclub website.

T-shirts will be 3-color silk screening on a light shirt color, so please keep your color palette in mind when designing the logo.

Contest entry will start now, and run through May 15th. If your design is chosen by the TDI Fest planning committee, you will receive a free registration to Fest for you and a guest, and $10 in raffle tickets.

To start you all off, I would like to see a design that incorporates monuments and or attractions from the area, and an avante garde TDIclub logo (graffiti-ish, but legible).

Here is a sample of what I'm thinking of for the background...

(without the Sphinx, obviously).

Don't let me box you in in terms of creativity... let your mind wander and let's see what you can come up with.

Entries should be a high resolution image that can be enhanced or blown up as necessary without getting distorted or becoming grainy.

Please post your art work, questions, and comments in this thread.

LOL! That actually sounds pretty awesome, although I'm sure Audi would throw a fit if you made it look too realistic.

Don't most Le Mans vehicles look similar? So you make it look a little more F1-ish and slap "TDI" on the end of it..... problem solved.

I'll work on a mock up tonight (I think I can use the lines of the Sphinx) when I get back home to my GIMP-enabled computer...

Given the folks that will be attending, shouldn't it be something like this:

The preferred format is vector based (.ai or eps). If you can't get that I'll have the required size for printing shortly. Also I should have a picture of past logos that hopefully won't influence you too much.

VeeDubTDI · April 7th, 2009, 23:23

I can't wait to see the picture of the previous logos.

yeah, me too to see the previous logos! Looking forward to the 2009 Fest!

The planning committee and the planners from previous Fests will be doing the voting.

Still searching for past logos. I thought I had them all handy.

The one from New England is nice!

I'm a slacker. I'm downloading GIMP for Mac (I'm at work) now....

VeeDubTDI · April 14th, 2009, 10:48

Cool! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
