Computer Science Logo Contest

Background

The School of Computer Science is interested in having a logo that can be used on letterhead, web pages, brochures, posters. etc. There have been attempts to create and select such a logo in the past, but there is renewed interest in re-visiting this initiative. To that end, the Commons Committee, on behalf of the School, is running a contest to find a winning logo. Previous submissions are encouraged to re-submit for this round. Prizes will be awarded (see below). The selected logo will be taken to the Graphics department for refinement/finishing. The selected logo will become property of the School to be used and reproduced as they see fit.

Guidelines

logo should be original work and completely the property of the author
the logo will need to "work" in both colour and black&white
the logo should be scalable and be comprehensible at both small (eg thumbnail) and large size (eg: t-shirt or posters)

Submission process

Provide one or both of:
- electronic (jpeg, tiff, pdf or similar) copy of the suggested logo
- paper (printed or drawn)
an explanation of what your logo "means" (if applicable)
submit your entry via email to: cs-logo@cs or via mail/in-person to either Lawrence Folland or Debbie Mustin
Deadline: October 30, 2007

Who can submit?

the contest is open to anyone who has an interest in the School of Computer Science, including any member of the University or the community
members of the School Commons Committee are ineligible

Prizes

Selected Logo: $600 cash (cheque)
first and second runner-up: $200 each
In the event that no logo is selected for official use, the top three entries will be given a $200 prize
