Logo Contest
The Lab has entered it's second year as of January 1st and while we've got all the trappings of a good hackerspace we're still missing one key component: a logo! We've had a few internal goes of hacking around with concepts but never set down and picked a deadline to vote on the options members have come up with. So we're going to throw a logo competition and the prize, of course, is that we get a free logo and thank you very much for it. The contest is open to members and non-members alike. The "rules" are as follows:
Submission Format:
- A vector format (SVG, AI, etc) *
- Optionally: An example of the logo in use (t-shirt mockup, desktop,
web page, etc)
*: If you don't have a tool that can produce a vector format send in a
high-res lossless format but keep in mind that it will likely need to
be converted to a vector format at some point so keep the "grungy"
photoshop filters to a minimum.
How to Submit: Email submissions to 757Labs@gmail.com.
Deadline: March 15th (the Ides!)
We know we've got some creative members and lurkers so we're looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

How about you actually hire a designer and barter for services, say a year free membership.
There is no real incentive for anyone, other than “757Labs” because you get a free logo.
You could always talk to a local design professor and get it assigned as “student project”

@Bob This “contest” is mostly amongst our members. But, yes, we’ve also contacted local design firms and made some bartering offers to them.

funk paying an artist – it’s all about having the satisfaction of doing something for an organization that is positive in the community….that hasn’t hacked into the ‘free’ amps from the overhead lines of the monorail yet. i have 2 designs but my stus are photoshopping them to get some cool effects. the unshopped ones i can make into stickers (vinyl) but the shopped versions will make cooler posters/ general logoness.
