TRF Members,
We as new owners are really excited to announce the "Design the New TRF Logo" contest. Running now through 31 October, each TRF member is encouraged to submit their design that best reflects the spirit and intent of TRF as follows in our mission statement: "the spirit of establishing a nice, friendly place for people to get to know each other, talk about building rockets, get constructive advice and generally congregate for a good time". Again, the contest opens 1 October and closes at midnight on 31 October (PDT). No late entries will be considered.
We'd like to ask that each submission conform to the following:
1) Be of clean, conservative, contemporary, design capable of both being used on this website, as well as capable of being reproduced on materials such as shirts, coffee mugs, water bottles, range box stickers, etc. With that being said, please keep in mind that by incorporating a plethora of colors into your design it becomes more difficult and expensive to reproduce.
2) Please incorporate the rocket, of your choice, into the design. The rocket must be of original design, OR not currently under trademark, copyright, or proprietary rights by another company/entity.
a) In theory the rocket incorporated into the logo should be stable enough for flight.
b) It's the intent of the TRF owners to make the winning entry into a specially produced TRF rocket kit available for a nominal cost. The winner of the design will receive the first kit put into production!
3) All entries must incorporate the words "The Rocketry Forum" into their logo. New type fonts are encouraged but, the type fonts must be easily read and legible. Please keep in mind that we are not renaming the website.
4) All entries should be posted, here under this tread - with a brief explanation as to what their design represents and/or why they chose to take the path they did. Entries not posted under this "sticky" thread will not be considered. Please do not PM, e-mail, or submit in other areas of the forum unless directed to do so by the owners, admins, or mods.
5) Have fun with the design!!! The winning choice will be selected by the TRF membership, with voting ending on Nov. 15th 2008.
6) In keeping with the spirit and intent of the website, no profane, sexual, political comments/agendas, or anything else that detracts from this family oriented website will be tolerated.
Folks, here's the scoop. We feel a strong urge to unite the members of TRF into a common cause. By hosting this contest we feel that members will develop a vested interest into TRF. That by knowing you have the opportunity to contribute, you'll help maintain this website as a premier place to discuss model rocketry.
We fully anticipate taking things even a step forward within the next few months by offering the winning logo "rocket" as a kit for all TRF members to purchase. We also fully anticipate making available such items as mentioned above: shirts, coffee mugs, water bottles, lapel pins, range box stickers, etc. All proceeds will be returned directly back to the web site, as a non-profit organization.
All members should note that each and every submission becomes the property of TRF. By submitting for the contest, members are agreeing to relinquish all rights and privileges to the design and further agree that TRF may use the logo for commercial purposes, to raise funds for the maintaining and upkeep of the web site.
I'm sure there's probably something else I've missed - so check back often for possible updates.
Lastly, we look tremendously forward to seeing all of your entries. Best wishes to everyone!
