New subject: [Fwd: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Logo competition?]

30 Mar 2011

    Como eu disse ontem, está aberta a competição para o novo
    logótipo do
    Wiki Loves Monuments.

    Espero que todos consigam perceber inglês. Se tiverem alguma
    dúvida,
    façam favor de perguntar.

    Gostava que o logótipo fosse português... só porque sim :-)

    Abraços,
    -NT

    OK, let's go forward with this then.

    Here are some of the criteria I was thinking about, input
    welcome:

    MUST
    *logo must be svg.
    *logo must be CC-BY or CC-BY-SA
    *logo must be easily usable on promotion material  (caps,
    mugs,
    buttons, posters, leaflets etc.) and on many color backgrounds

    NICE TO HAVE
    *logo _does not_ have to be a nth derivative of the Wikimedia
    Community logo
    *logo must be recognizable from afar
    *logo should be as "language neutral" as possible. This means
    for
    example that text should be rendered in font rather than in
    vectors to
    allow for possible translations/adaptations. =>not sure about
    this...thoughts?
    *logo should be as "international" as possible, and speak to
    the wider
    community.
    *logo should not be time tied, but should allow for variations
    (such
    as year, maybe place)

    DOs and DON'Ts
    Visual guidelines:
    * no or very straightforward gradient (difficult to render on
    swag)
    * sharp contours (no messy background, also difficult to
    render on swag)
    * black/white and/or grayscale must be easy to render (logo
    must be contrasted)
    * easily scalable (a big-size logo must look as nice as a
    small-size logo)


    BRIEF:
    Wiki loves monument is a photo contest that engages the
    Wikimedia
    community and the community at large to work at making
    pictures of
    listed monuments around the world. 2011 will be the first time
    that
    Wiki Loves Monuments happens in a coordinated fashion and on a
    wide
    scale, in Europe. More about the project here: (link to
    Commons page).
    In order to make this a success, several Wikimedia chapters
    and groups
    of community members are working on coordinating the
    organisation of
    the event. The logo will be used on promotional material
    (leaflets,
    swag etc.) for participants, on posters to advertise the event
    and on
    brochures to present the project to potential partner
    institutions.
    We need a cool logo that will represent both the "serious"
    spirit of
    the event (we're talking about "governement" listed monuments)
    but
    that will also engage community participants and make them
    proud of
    displaying it as much as possible. Although the event is
    coordinated
    this year for Europe, we hope to make this a recurring and
    world-wide
    event in the years to come.

    *Logo competition runs as of now, last submissions must be
    entered
    before the 17th of April 23.59 UTC. After that date, only
    variations/adaptations of a same logo may be presented by
    designers to
    the voters.
    *Votes are ongoing, votes close on the 30th of April => not
    sure about
    ongoing votes?
    *Comments are welcome and even desired
    *Community vote on meta or Commons? (note: my preference would
    go to
    commons, but I don't really care)
    *Voting closes on the 27th of April, 23.59 UTC

    How to participate:
    *Upload your logo on Commons in an svg format and tag it with
    the
    category [[Category:Wiki Loves Monuments logo contest]].
    *Make sure the logo is under CC-BY or CC-BY-SA
    *List your logo on the designated page under the format:
    == Name of logo ==
    *by [[User:XXXX]]
    ===Votes===
    (votes must be cast with the templates {{support}} or
    {{oppose}}. All
    votes should give a reason why they go one way or the other,
    so as to
    allow uploaders to adapt their logo and resubmit)
    ===Comments===

    I think I've covered it all.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks,

    Delphine
