    A contest for all you graphic designers out there!!!

    This quarter I am working with the local chapter of the March of Dimes to create a marketing strategy. The strategy we are designing will be using a new logo that I have in my head but do not have the skills to put on a computer.

    The design I am thinking of would be the foot print (or two, left and right) of a baby with the March of Dimes logo placed in the heel area. I am thinking that it would look cool to have the foot print of the baby similar to a real foot print with all the lines, etc from the texturization. The logo would then be in the heel area like the rest of the lines just make it a little thicker of a line or have an area where the lines are not so you can barely see where the logo should be (play with the ideas). I want the main thing you see when you look at it to just be a baby's foot print with the logo something that is slightly noticable but not too much attention drawn there. These logos will probably be turned into vinyl stickers, so the lines cannot be too thin.

    For the winner I will be offering two e30 M3 magnets that have been given away at the last few e30 picnics and a custom european license plate of your choice.

    Magnets are not necessarily the Tic-Tac car, but will be this style.


    A euro plate like this, but with text of your choice (plate frame not included).




    The logo that needs to be in the heel area would be the portion of this picture that is on the left. You can find more pictures of it on Google if you need them.

    Any chance you can get me a rough drawing and scan it in or something? Doesn't sound like too much for me to swing :)

      My drawing skills suck too. This is really something I have in my head. Google baby foot prints and try to make it like that with the logo subtley (sp?) in it somewhere.

        I'll play with it on the airplane tommorow since i'll have nothing else to do. =] I've got some ideas.

            Here's a rough. If it's close to your vision, let me know and we can tune it to meet your needs.

              I like that. Let me run it by my team. If anything I would like to figure out a way to make the logo more subtle. Maybe try putting it some other places on the foot and use the other lines of the foot to blend the logo.

              Keep the submissions coming. I would like to see a few options before picking a winner. :D

                Please also try to save it as an eps, pdf, ai, cdr, or fs file before saving it as a web-compatible file ;)

                so you already have the eps if your logo is chosen

                  And another thing....Could all future logos have the text "I care about babies" printed underneath it.

                  I would like the text to be a very simple text like the text on some of the r3v stickers (not the real old ones).

                    First stab, what kind of stickers will they be? cutout or printed? I like the idea with having the fingerprint lines on the foot, but that won't really work if not printed.

                      they are going to be cutout stickers, so something more along the lines of what markseven did. I can't see the logo on that one either, so it will need to be more noticeable.

                        You said subtle ;) This one is not.

                            Markseven, could you put the "I care about babies" text in the logo to the right of the left foot and under the right foot. Try to keep it in the rectangle area right there. It is looking good. A nice simple font would be perfect. I will also play with some fonts and see if there is one I like.

                            I like the other entries as well, but markseven's is more along the lines of what I am looking for. Keep the new ideas coming, but that gives everyone an idea of about what I am looking for. Great work everyone!
