Announcing the Methuselah Foundation Logo Competition
Can you design a logo for the Methuselah Foundation? Would you like to see your work leading the charge in the fight to defeat age-related degeneration? We are upgrading our websites and outreach material, and as a part of this effort need a distinctive new logo that encapsulates and conveys the meaning of our mission and the essence of the Foundation.
The Methuselah Foundation has been built by the dedication of volunteers and donors of all stripes, and so we reach out to the same community in search of a new logo. Think you have good idea and a designer's hand? Fire up the scanner and send in your work!
Entries will be judged by Foundation chair Dr. de Grey with help from graphic design experts. The winner and two runners up will each receive an autographed copy of Dr. de Grey's book "Ending Aging: The Rejuvenation Biotechnologies That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime", which is published by St. Martin's Press on September 4, 2007.
The entry guidelines are as follows - we need a design which:
- will look good both on paper and on-screen
- be reproduced and remain legible at a variety of sizes (all the way from a business card to a banner)
- will still look good when reproduced in monochrome
- can be used with and without accompanying text ("The Methuselah Foundation")
- can be reliably reproduced, employing Websafe and/or Pantone colors and typography you specify
The closing date for this contest is August 15th, 2007.
Lastly, the legal boilerplate: we will ask the winner to assign copyright to the Foundation in perpetuity, and also to certify that the design is his or her original work.
Please send any enquiries and your submissions to: logo@mprize.org. Best of luck, and tell your friends!
