After nearly 10 years, it is time to give NatNet a facelift. We are going to be refreshing our branding within both the Adult and Mainstream hosting arenas. With that will come a new web site, new logo, and new feel.
This contest will tackle just the logo portion of our plan. It will be played out on the two top webmaster boards on the internet in hopes of reaching the most talented designers in the industry. There will be no "back room" deals and no politics.
For fear of pissing someone off, there are more detailed contest rules below, but the summary is simple: Designers wishing to submit entries will post their entry in this thread which will stay active for one week. At the end, if we see a design we choose to use we will pay that designer $5,000US. If we decide not to use any of the entries, as a show a good faith we will randomly choose 5 entries, from 5 different designers, and open a poll in which members of the community can vote for their favorite. The winner of the poll will receive a consolation prize of $1,000US even though we will not use their submission.
If you have any questions feel free to post them in this thread and someone from NatNet will reply within this thread so that everyone is on a level playing field. No information about this contest will be discussed outside of this thread.
The following are a few things you should keep in mind when designing this logo:
NationalNet is a technology company that operates in both the Mainstream and Adult arenas. We are one of the largest, most powerful, and most trusted names in the business. Our name has become synonymous with exceptional customer service and loyalty. As such, our logo should reflect all of the above and should be clean enough to be viable in all mediums.
As is obvious by the prize money being offered, we take our logo very seriously and will only consider serious entries. I am banking on the good folks on this board to rise to the occasion.
GOOD LUCK!!!
