TechnologyComputer and Technology Projects
Agency/Organization: MN Masters Swimming Group
Project Description: We seek to develop a new logo for our organization. We have requested ideas from members for the past 2 years and no one has stepped up with anything substantial. I have a few ideas of what this should or might look like but have very little artistic talent to devote to this project. The logo would be used on the web site, on clothing that is sold at meets, on T-shirts that are given away as participation awards at events. A couple of thoughts -- somehow have a blue heron/lake type bird along side or on a swimming lane marker with the wording of Minnesota Masters Swimming and somehow have an active swimmer figure involved. We would like to have a 2 color +/or four color format with black and white also available. Dates Needed: 10/21/09 through 3/1/10. Visit MN Masters Swimming Group on the web at www.minnesotamasters.com
Skills/Availability Requirement: We would hope to find someone that had graphic arts interest and skills. The final project would need to be formatted for various usages and the ability to make it simple for someone that doesn't know much about this would be marvelous.
