To ALL 4D members:

 

It’s time to up-date our 4D logo.  For some time the Board has heard comments urging an up-date to simplify our logo, as did the NMRA.  Let’s have a contest, with all submissions due NO LATER than Monday, April 10, 2017 in time for display at our Spring Meet, April 15.  Entrants might find it useful to go online to read one of several articles like “10 Common Mistakes in Logo Design” and/or to ask friends/relatives with graphic art skills or experience to participate.

  • Logo entry must have name and contact information
  • Format is to be either Raster based or Vector based (see specifics below):
    • Raster (bitmap) based: Image needs to be 12 inches x 12 inches, 150 DPI resolution and saved as either a .JPG or .TIF file type.
    • Vector based (Preferred) created in either Adobe illustrator or similar graphics application and saved as either a .EPS or .AI file.
  • Send submission(s) to Membership committee member:   abrikoff@frontier.com
  • Note that all attendees attending the Spring Meet can vote.
  • The “top three” vote-getters will be finalists.
  • Non-attendees can ask friends who DO attend to Text photos so that non-attendees can e-mail a preference or favorite to:  abrikoff@frontier.com
  • The 4D Board and Membership Committee members have the prerogative of asking graphics-minded friends, logo designers and/or “branding” specialists to comment, opinionate and/or tweak the top three submissions, arriving at a winner.
  • Results will be published in the Grab Iron and contributors recognized and applauded.
