To ring in the New Year Comics Lifestyle is presenting a spanking new LOGO COMPETITION.
We’re currently sporting one by Michael Pee Fikaris and we’d like to set up a rotating banner showing the diverse styles and sensibilities of those in the *life*. We’ll credit banner artists on a profiles page. What’s that? You think you don’t have what it takes? Give it a try, we double-dog dare you. Entries (first one below) will be archived on Flickr at http://tinyurl.com/yzv8xq
And if having your art on the front page ain’t enough, there are a few incentives to boot.
Prizes: #1 Kitsch Cambodia art portrait of yourself OR a friend. (See example) One of a kind, frameable. Just take a picture of yourself – drawing, eating, taking a bath, you name it. You choose the pose, we paint so it shows.
#2: Southeast Asia comics care package:
a walloping chunk of media from left field.
#3: A package of Ratanakiri coffee, perfect for late night drawing sessions.
(Shipping may take months, you’ll have to be patient, OK?)
Honorable mentions / Consolation prizes will be awarded as is appropriate.
Give the site a read and you’ll get the general idea. (Ok, I know it’s been a little slow the last few months of the year.) Comics Lifestyle reserves the right to reject logos that are Lame, or Don’t Quite Get It. It’s a tough call to make sometimes. It doesn’t mean we don’t care. Submission and acceptance of a logo does not guarantee we will cover your comic, book launch, or dog and pony show.
Competition ends on Valentine’s Day, Feb 14.
(We are always happy to get contributions after the deadline, no guarantees we will use it though.)
Contributions welcome via LOGO@comicslifestyle.com. As long as it says ‘comicslifestyle.com’ in some form you’re off to a good start. Web optimized JPEGs, PNGs, GIF files are preferred. Color / Black and White are OK. Standard banner size is preferred (Say 150 x 750 pixels? We’re flexible.) Please, no Flash files, they’re less browser-compatible in developing countries.
A roster of international comicists will help make the final cut. If you’d like to help with the competition, drop a line.
