Hi all,
So at the last meetup one thing everyone agreed was that we need to get
moving on forming into a proper entity. Its something that has been spoken
about off an on for the last 2 years and something which we have done
little about.
With that in mind, I spent most of the meetup working on the website
www.openstreetmap.ie and its starting to come together nicely.
Cliff originally designed the logo on that site but pointed out in a recent
email that it was something that was intended as a placeholder only and
that a better logo is probably achievable.
On that basis, using the recent JOSM & Hot logo competition parameters as a
guideline, I'd like to announce a competition for a new logo for
OpenStreetMap Ireland. This logo will primarily be used on the website and
twitter, however in time and with the right resources there's no reason it
wouldn't end up on stickers, t-shirts etc.
On to the competition guidelines
*Competition Rules*
- The competition is open to anyone. Entrants can be an individual or
team of people, even a design company
- Entries must be in SVG format
- Entry designs should be emailed to my [email protected] as
attached SVG file(s) with a subject line of "Logo entry from XYZ"
- Entries must be received before midnight GMT on 17th July 2015
- Artists can make variations of other public domain artwork, although
credit must be given where credit is due (and credit will be given when the
winner is chosen)
- Individuals are allowed to submit multiple entries, but you are
encouraged to put work into one or two designs, and no more than five.
- The winning design will be chosen by a community vote to be held
during a one week period from 20th-26th July 2015
- The winning design will be announced on 01st Aug 2015
- Have fun!
*Design Brief*
*Conceptual Suggestions*
- Remember, OpenStreetMap Ireland is a cross border group so steer clear
of a design that is overtly Southern or Northern focused
- The logo should use the current OpenStreetMap logo as a basis, but
don't let that constrain your design, some out of the box surreal design
might look awesome but then something super simple might look just as good
so don't dismiss anything
- You may find inspiration among other community designs at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Logos#Logo_design_competitions or the
JOSM competition enterieshttps://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/LogoContest
*Where will the logo be used?*
- The twitter account
- We will also use the logo in the openstreetmap.ie homepage
- Other electronic materials, proposal documents, presentation slides
etc.
- It may get used on printed materials: Letter headings, small stickers
('moo.com' size), large stickers (to go on boxes), T-shirts.
- Any other creative uses by the community promoting OpenStreetMap in
Ireland.
*Design requirements*
- *Vector -* The design must be available in a vector format. If you do
not know how to create SVG, team up with someone who does.
- *Copyright.* You must be willing and able to waive all rights to your
design, handing over copyright ownership to OpenStreetMap Ireland, granting
them a complete and irrevocable right to use, adapt, distribute the work.
Of course, we intend to allow all use and re-use, but we may at some point
need to register the design as a trademark. Let's do away with any awkward
legal barriers up front. We also promise the winning artist(s) will be
credited, including a link of their choice, on the openstreetmap.ie
blog, but beyond that we do not guarantee any attribution, and certainly
don't want to require it for downstream uses.
- *Square -* We're looking for a logo which fits OK in a square area.
This is to fit with the twitter requirement and also moo stickers. The logo
itself doesn't need to be square shape, but should look OK occupying a
square area. Text can be added in various configurations afterwards (e.g.
to the right of the logo, to form a horizontal strip for the top of the
openstreetmap.ie homepage)
*Best of luck!*
Thanks,
Dave
