Design a logo for AEJMC and win $1,000
Give AEJMC a facelift and win $1,000!
Entries must be received by midnight (EDT) on May 1, 2010
Attention AEJMC faculty, students, and professional graphic designers! Here is an opportunity to develop a logotype and a theme line for the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, which will become part of an extended branding campaign. The winning entry will receive $1,000.
The members of the Strategic Planning Implementation subcommittee on Branding (Birgit Wassmuth, Suzette Heiman, Lillie Fears with support from Jennifer McGill and Mich Sineath) invite submissions for a logo and a slogan for AEJMC. This is an open call.
The logo must use the letters AEJMC and communicate what our association stands for in an immediate, effective, and memorable manner. The slogan (also called strap line or catch line) serves like an advertising phrase and must be poignant, brief, and memorable. It must work well with the logo.
The logo design entered in this competition must:
(1) focus on the letters AEJMC (all caps, all lower case, or a combination of U&lc)
(2) be adaptable to multiple uses and platforms (print and online), i.e., directory, newsletters, publications, nametags, and a variety of promotional materials. The logo must not lose impact or legibility when significantly reduced or enlarged.
(3) work well with and retain a sense of balance and internal integrity whether it stands alone or is used in combination with the full name (Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication).
(4) be limited to two colors (black plus one color) and reproducible as black and gray when printed in black only.
(5) show no gradations or blends.
(6) be original and authentic. (It cannot include any copyrighted elements)
The slogan entered in conjunction with the logo must:
(1) Project the purpose of AEJMC in a poignant manner as it approaches its second century
(2) be original and authentic. (To test originality, put it in quotation marks and run it through Google.)
(3) be limited to five words or less.
(4) not include objectionable language.
(5) be understood globally.
(6) work well in conjunction with the logo. (Show us two applications!)
Each entrant is limited to one entry consisting of logo, slogan, and at least two applications. Entries must be submitted electronically. All entries will be blind-reviewed. The designer of the winning entry must be willing to work with the leadership of AEJMC if an adjustment or modification is recommended by the judges. Entries must be received by midnight (EDT) on May 1, 2010. The winner will be announced at the AEJMC annual conference in Denver in August.
