- is 3D allowed or not?
- Highres., so we make the Logo with an Resolution of 2048x2048(because
you can print it on T-Shirts at ~ 20/30cm)
- Backgroundcolor = white?

Correct, a newer better version of that (something origional).

-As Phade said: "Using 3D modeling software to create logos is greatly discouraged. Resulting logos are generally difficult to use for many practicle purposes."

-highres is good, as long as it's practical (ie: no 10MB files)

-There really arn't any rules about the background color. Make ur own judgment call. (be creative)

Hey Takashi-SG,

You can make the background transparent with an anti-aliased transparency edge just like the logo you pointed out in your example. That would solve any logo background issues.

I missed the logo contest last year and I was about to suggest another one in site suggestions when I saw the announcement. It's good to keep things fresh.

erm but what about my question? what are the 2 source things...?

Hey ChronoWraith,

The reason for the two files is that the jpeg will be used to display the logo for the contest. The source is needed if I need to put the logo on things like VCA trophies or t-shirts or something like that. A 130x70 image is fine for display on site pages, but the source can be used to make any arbitrary larger images, especially if the source is vector-based.

* Whenever possible, use vector art. Vector art scales much better than raster and makes a smaller source file.

ok, stupid question: what is raster? also, what programs does anyone know of that are free and mac-compatable that can make vector art?

Is it against the rules to use bitmapping? I have never used transparency before, so I dont think it would be a good idea to start now...

thanks!
