Special launch contest!  Before we launch the new widget, one final order of business is to create a new CMF logo.
The current CMF logo shows several ads overlapping, to highlight the way that you buy an ad and share views with other ads on the same spot – hence the low cost to advertise. (and in my opinion looks like crap.  Shh, don’t tell Ben)  However, the logo was something Ben knocked together quite quickly, and we (meaning Turnip & Stan) are not 100% happy with it.  So we’d like to run a quick contest to get a better logo created.

The requirements: Create a 125×125 logo that will fit above the “CMF Ads” text in the banner at the top of the page, where the coloured boxes are currently. It doesn’t have to follow the “overlapping ads” concept – this is entirely up to you.

The prize: 80 credits (worth $20), and the usage of your logo across the CMF network.

Terms:
1. The 80 credits must be spent on advertising.
2. You can submit multiple entries if you wish.
3. Submissions should be sent to “admin at cmfads dot com”
4. The contest will close once we launch our advertising services.
5. Logo must be your own work and not belong to someone else.

Turnip’s contest hints:  Since I have a say in picking the winner, kowtowing to the turnip improves your chances of winning!  The ideal logo should be simple and scalable;  meaning you can recognize it when its dimensions are tiny when used as an icon, yet looks nice when used normal sized in a header.  The logo should say “CMF”, “CMF ADS”, or no text.  Look at the websites I design, some say they all look the same.   It should be easy for a designer to appeal to my tastes (No bare breasts please). 

Below are some entries we’ve already received.

Don’t let the greatness of these 3 entries intimidate you.  Submit your own ideas or try to appeal to Stan and Ben, the other judges.  Stan likes fantasy baseball, 70′s hairstyles, and Jamie Kennedy Movies.  Ben likes fruity colors, the comedy of Bill Bailey, and stealing lupins from the rich to give to the poor.
