should be sent to :
High resolution print-ready scalable vector format such as
portable EPS, SVG or Adobe Illustrator AI.
EPS, or PNG thumbnail that will display readily at a resolution of 640 x 480.
I have no initial requirement for the size of the logo (this could change) however it should be of reasonable size so as not to overpower the rest of the website but not too small so that one will not realize that this is the main logo of the website. The logo should be scalable so that a large version of it can be used on the front/homepage but also so that smaller logos can be used throughout subsequent pages. Seperate large and small logos can be submitted as long as they are of the same design concept.
Design concept / description.
Submitter's full name, email address, short paragraph on the inspiration behind the submission.
Names of all fonts used must be submitted. Preference will be given to common fonts available on the Mac or PC.

logo by assignment of copyright, and the winning designer will

designer acknowledges that he/she is the person that made the

format" will be ignored without any warning.
