FACES is a rearranged acronym of Emmanuel College Former Students Association. Emmanuel College is a relatively new school starting in 1984, with the FACES Alumni group forming in the past couple of years. The group has a logo but is on the hunt for a new & better one.

The school is Christian based, but FACES isn't looking for overly religious symbology in the logo. The Faces URL is http://www.faces.org.au you may choose to incorporate this into your design, but it is not a requirement.

There are a lot of obvious paths to take with this logo, and we look forward to your original ideas.

1) LOGO REQUIREMENTS
All logos must work as 1 colour flat logos first. ie black on white. If it doesn't look good there, no amount of pimping will save it. (You don't have to submit b&w logos, just know as you're designing, that I'm looking very critically at how the logo will work in anything from newsprint to Web, DVD & beyond)

2) COLOUR
Colour is up for grabs at this stage, give me some options.

3) LOGO VS WORD
I'm wanting the word faces with a logo. FACES may be written upper or lower case, or combination. ie FACES, faces, Faces.

4) LOGO CONCEPT
The logo is up to you.

5) LOGO, WORD PLACEMENT & TAG LINE
The full logo wording will need to work in a long horizontal format, ie the banner across the top of a site. This would usually mean logo+word or word+logo side by side format, but I also like the logo on top of word etc for alternative placements. The tag line isn't a requirement, so don't force it in if it's not working.

6) PIMPING - WEB 2.0 etc
Once you have something that kicks butt in 1 colour flat, 2-4 colour flat, then you might want to play with it some.

7) FILE FORMATS.
Vector Black & Colour versions - ai or eps. PSD Coloured verions - Layered with no flattening if possible.

8) COMP ENDING.
While I am running this comp. I will be doing so in consultation with other board members of FACES, so my feedback times may not be as quick as the last comp. I did.

9) PICKING A WINNER.
The Faces board reserves the right to close the competition without picking a winner if no suitable 'winning' logo is presented, before the ending time.

HAVE AT IT.
