SGC INTERNATIONAL LOGO DESIGN COMPETITION: CALL FOR ENTRIES – 40th Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:
This is a call for members of SGC International to create brand identity, specifically, a LOGO design for SGC International. SGCI is an educational non-profit organization committed to informing our membership about issues and processes concerning original prints, drawings, book arts, and hand-made paper. The selected logo will become the official logo for the organization and will play a significant role in the visual identity for SGC International.
SGCI will retain all rights to the logo design and will have the freedom of reproducing it for any function and in any material deemed fit by the board of SGC International. An Honorarium of the amount $500 will be awarded to the designer of the chosen logo.
ABOUT:
Since its founding forty years ago, SGCI has grown to become one of the largest printmaking organizations in North America. Each year, SGCI holds annual conferences, drawing participants nationally and internationally where significant dialogue and exchange of technical and critical information occurs. Awards, publications, and exhibitions promote greater understanding, scholarship, and enjoyment of these art forms.
In 1972 Boyd Saunders, from the University of South Carolina, invited every printmaker he knew in the South to meet at the annual convention of the Southeastern College Art Conference with the intention of forming a printmaker’s organization. (At that time, college and university printmaking programs tended to be small, isolated, and neglected.) The group that assembled in New Orleans for that meeting included Bernie Solomon, John O’Neil and Boyd Saunders. They wrote and approved by-laws and in 1973 the Southeastern Graphics Council was officially chartered by the State of South Carolina as a non-profit organization.
Boyd Saunders served as the first president from 1972 through 1974. Bernie Solomon hosted the first annual workshop conference in 1974 at his home institution of Georgia Southern College. In 1978, as the organization grew in membership, the name was changed to the Southern Graphics Council. Over the next 30 years, conferences were held in not only Southern states, but in New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Membership to the SGC also expanded, and now has a national and international membership. In 2010, the name was changed again to its current SGC International.
PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:
The logo MUST reflect the mission of SGC International. The logo must be versatile in nature so that it can be translated and adopted for various functions and reproduced on various materials. The logo must reproduce well in a variety of sizes from a keychain or lapel pin to street banners and billboards. It is critical for the logo to be successfully reproducible in both color and monochrome (black and white.) The logo will be used as the primary graphic representation of the SGC International organization.
Acceptable submissions may be created in either PC or Macintosh platforms in formats that allow cross-platform conversion. In your submission, please specify the authoring platform to ensure accuracy. Vector art is mandatory for the design. You will also need to include a JPEG version of your design for the jury panel to review.
To keep reproduction costs reasonable, minimize the number of colors in the finished work. In addition to a color version of the design, it is required that a monochrome (black and white) version be submitted. Include or embed any placed images and identify spot colors with Pantone color specifications. DO NOT submit works created in Microsoft Office applications such as Publisher, Word or PowerPoint as these won’t be accepted or considered.
The submitter MUST be a current member of SGC International. You must indicate your membership number along with the submission of your logo design. If you do not have you membership number, please contact SGCI Membership Chair, Melissa McGurgan at: membership@sgcinternational.org
