Enter a Logo Design in the Fair this year. It may be selected for the 2009 Fair! Logos awarded a blue or red ribbon at the fair are put in for selection at the November Island County Fair Association meeting. The winner receives a $50.00 cash prize as well as having their design used for advertising and marketing for the 2009 Fair.
To participate, bring your finished logo to the Fair Saturday, August 9 from 1PM to 7PM. Logos will be judged and hung in the Pole Building. Fairgoers will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite during the fair.Here are some tips in creating a successful logo design:
1. Keep it simple. The logo sets the theme for the Fair. The logo is going to be printed on t-shirts, hats, advertisements, schedules, etc., so it should be clean and fun.2. Only two or three colors are used during the Fair so make sure the logo can be used with limited colors. (It’s easier for the judges to visualize what it will look like if it’s black and white.)
3. It must have a slogan. Keep the slogan short. The slogan is a catch phrase and does not have to rhyme. In fact, some of the more fun slogans don't rhyme.4. It must include the phrase 'Island County Fair' and '2009'.
5. You can use any medium to create your logo: drawing, watercolor, computer, cut and paste, etc.6. Check the Premium Book for further rules and instructions.
Good luck!
