Submission Guidelines

The purpose of the contest is to design a logo for Vibe. The logo may be used online, in print, in signage, on merchandise, and at the discretion of Vibe. The final version of the logo will need to be suitable for high quality printing.

Because of the requirement to register the logo as a Service Mark, Entrants should take care to ensure that their Entries are not in any way similar to existing logos or other copyrighted images. A logo that cannot be registered as a Service Mark, no matter how well crafted, cannot win the Contest.

Due to the requirements for high quality printing and re-sizing Entries must submitted in scalable vector graphic format (EPS). We advise against the use of halftones and gradients unless created inside a vector graphics program. Color in this version must be CMYK, no spot colors.

JPGs 1000 pixels square of the logo are also requested so that entries can be posted to http://montco.happeningmag.com without the need for conversion.

The limit on attachment sizes for our email is 5Mb. If your submission exceeds this size, please email info@happeningsmedia.com for further instruction.
