College Info Geek Logo Design Contest - Win Two Business Books of Your Choosing

[bond]

The contest is for @thomasfrank09

Hey guys, my name is Thomas Frank and I run the college success blog College Info Geek (recently featured on LifeHacker!). I've been running the site for almost a year, and now I need to change the site's logo.

Alright, here’s the story. Since I’m a terrible, terrible designer, I resorted to using one of those logo-making programs to make the site’s logo. I was actually pretty proud of it – until a friend on Twitter pointed something out:

@collegeinfogeek The OCP logo from Robocop? What gives? I approve, but….WTF!? http://j.mp/hIFYA0#yourmovecreep





I have never seen Robocop, so I had no way of knowing we were using a fictional company’s logo. Still, rules are rules, so we need to change it! That’s where you come in. Design College Info Geek’s next logo, and if yours is chosen, you'll win any two business/entrepreneurship books of your choosing (up to $30 total). You’ll have the choice of print or Kindle format for the books. You’ll also be featured in a post and have a great piece for your portfolio!

Ready to fire up Illustrator and get started? Here are the details:

Check out the site to get an idea of the area the header fits in, and also check out our Twitter page to see the avatar usage.

Make the logo so that it’ll fit up in our header in roughly the same area that the new one does. The logo you submit can be much larger, but it should scale down to those dimensions.

It’s also acceptable to make a symbol (Like the “C”) and have “College Info Geek” incorporated in a header version.

Use whatever program you want.

It’d be cool if you’d submit your original logo in as high of a resolution as possible.

The contest will end at midnight on June 15th. Submit all logo designs to collegeinfogeek@gmail.com. Good luck!

@thomas, if you don't PM @vic, @twistereli, @geek directly to have them check out this contest. I used them in the past to do my designs. They're great.

For reference when designing the logos, please start with a design that is at least 1000px wide or is done as a vector image in Illustrator. We'll be using this for business cards and t-shirts, so you'll want it to look good!

Yep! You can submit as many as you want - just be sure you're shooting for quality over quantity. One fantastic logo will always beat out 10 mediocre ones.
