We asked, many of you responded so we now offer up the challenge.
Corporate branding Web site Brand New called a new design for the City of Philadelphia one of the year’s worst.
In the spirit of the new year and because we know you don’t want to do any real work this week, we put an open call out to the designers and developers and tinkerers and artists in our community. Make a designer’s design for the City of Philadelphia.
Submit your ideas for a logo that would better suit the City of Philadelphia — yes, it can be sarcastic or heartfelt. It can even include the Liberty Bell or a cheesesteak if you think they sum Philly up well … and you can endure the taunts of your peers. We’re thinking standard display images, but we won’t begin to limit you, the audience. If it fits in an e-mail or can be linked to, we want to see them.
All submissions need to be sent to info [at] technicallyphilly.com [files or links] by the final whistle of this Sunday’s 4:15 p.m. Eagles last regular season game, against those bastard Cowboys.
The best design — to be decided by an incredibly complex algorithm that combines RTing, commenting and how surly reporter Brian James Kirk feels that morning — will win an incredibly disappointing prize package featuring the following:
- Pride in winning TP’s first hastily thrown together contest (maybe we’ll even design you a button… maybe)
- One cold, tasty local beer purchased and served to you by the TP staff at our next meetup, to be announced shortly
- A promise that we’ll submit your idea to the appropriate persons at City Hall… if they would only take us off hold.
