LOGOLYMPIAD - Event 3

[pollux]

Imagine a National Hockey League without its Original Six teams... No Boston Bruins. No Chicago Blackhawks. No Detroit Red Wings. No Montreal Canadiens. No New York Rangers. No Toronto Maple Leafs.

In order to correct this abomination, the NHL has decided to grant a team for each of the six cities aforementioned. Each ownership group has decided to use the moniker we are so familiar with.

Your task is to design a primary logo, a secondary logo and a word mark for one of the Original Six teams as if they joined the NHL in 2012.

• You can either use the current color scheme or a completely new one.
• On your submission, identify all three items accordingly with a small text label.

DEADLINE: Monday, September 24th, 11:59 AM Eastern Time

Reminder

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.

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.

Request for clarification: By small text label, do you mean something like:

DET PRIMARY ... NYR SECONDARY ... TOR WORDMARK ... etc.?

Yes, although you won't need the city, since the wordmark is mandatory. Therefore you'll only need three labels: PRIMARY, SECONDARY and WORDMARK.

Exactly.

I received an entry today, which I debated whether or not it should be flat out disqualified since it doesn't follow the task. For reference, here's the task:

Your task is to design a primary logo, a secondary logo and a word mark for one of the Original Six teams as if they joined the NHL in 2012.

Since the entry I have received contained the three required elements for all Original Six teams, I thought it would be a low blow to flat out disqualify that person, especially since there was massive work done for all six teams.

Therefore, that participant may resubmit his entry for this event, without penalty, if he selects one team and puts it on an entry as usual. I will then "discard" the other entry, but will unveil it when giving out medals for Event 3.
