No greyscale. Therefore NO gradient allowed on the black and white version.DEADLINE: October 3rd, 11:59AM Eastern TimeReminder - Read this carefully as I won't give out warnings this time! Failure to follow the guidelines could result in your entry being inadvertently (or intentionally) excluded from judging. Entries must be emailed to logolympiad (@) gmail (dot) com prior to the set deadline. Subject line should be the event number (Ex: Event 1). Once you submit your entry, it is considered final. Entries must be submitted as .jpg, .gif or .png formats. The file name format of the submission is: event#_yourusername.extension (Ex: event1_pollux.png). The file must be attached to your email.All final entries must be 800x600 pixels with at least 70 pixels of white space at the bottom of the image. This means that your presentation has to fit in a 800x530 pixels window (800 pixels wide by 530 pixels high). I will NOT re-size entries that are not properly done, so make sure it's right.The background of the entries should be solid white, unless otherwise specified. You must not use gradients, shadows, patterns, lines, etc. on your background. Unless otherwise specified, do not add any images or text (team name, location, entry number, event type, etc) to your submission. Do not include your name or any other personal identifiers on your submission. Also, do not watermark your work. I will add a watermark to each entry before they get posted for judging. I will also provide each entry with a number. You are expected to keep the identity of your entry anonymous until the end of the event. If you think you know the identity of another designer, keep it to yourself. Anyone who exposes the identity of themselves or anyone else will be DQ'd. I will NOT contact you if your entry is wrong, therefore make sure that you comply to these guidelines before submitting your entry.

davidmiller5 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Do we need the full name of the league or just the initials in the logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Do we need the full name of the league or just the initials in the logo? You can go with any of those two. You won't be disqualified if you use only the initials.

eRay Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 If any sort of backstory is stated or symbolized in the submissions (Year established, number of teams, number of divisions, etc.) can that information be made up by the individual, or would you like to provide a backstory?

There is no backstory for the league. You can incorporate information in the logo (year established, for example), but please remember the following rule: Unless otherwise specified, do not add any images or text (team name, location, entry number, event type, etc) to your submission. In your case, even if you invent a backstory, you cannot put it in text in your submission or it will be disqualified. I guess this would be used to explain some elements in the logo, but still, no text on your submission. Logo only.

NOppenheimer Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sorry if this is stupid, but just to clear it up, text IS allowed on the logo, correct?

pollux Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sorry if this is stupid, but just to clear it up, text IS allowed on the logo, correct? Yes, if you mean the initials (like the NHL) or the league name (like the Bundesliga). Don't add text around the submission to explain your design. That will get you disqualified.

NOppenheimer Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 One more quick question.....does the "black and white version" have to be only black and white, or can it be some kind of grayscale?

nas1787 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Is a black to white gradient acceptable, or does that qualify as greyscale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollux Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Is a black to white gradient acceptable, or does that qualify as greyscale? For this event, this would qualify as greyscale, therefore gradient is NOT allowed on the black and white version.
