Logo Design
The FOSS4G SotM Oceania Organising Committee is pleased to announce a call for logo designs. We need your help to build a strong recognisable logo for FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2020 in Suva, Fiji.
We put together this Design Brief (borrowing from the SOTM) that outlines what we are looking for in a logo. Entrants could be an individual or team of people, even a design company.
By submitting a logo you will be assigning your copyright to OSGeo so that it can be used across different mediums. The organising committee may also commission improvements of the winning work. Entries need to appear on the wiki page FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2020/Logo Entries by Sunday 16 February 2020. The organising committee will decide by vote which logo to use.
How to enter
- Create your logo in PNG file format and a scalable file format (either SVG or PDF).
- If you're not used to scalable formats please still enter the competition as we can try to help.
- Make your logo available online, one option is to upload it to the OSGeo Wiki (upload link) or submit your entry to admin@foss4g-oceania.org.
- Add a link, or include your logo on the wiki page FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2020/Logo Entries (if you enter via email, we'll do this for you).
Prize
The winning entry will receive a conference registration and a conference bula shirt.
Distribution
The conference website (url TBC), flyers, emails, sponsor communications, t-shirts and potentially other conference ‘swag’ like bags, keychains, pens etc. Printed material at the conference such as timetable of talks, notebooks, banners and conference guide. Potentially small web-based button images for use on third party websites to promote the conference or fact that someone is speaking there, for placement on blogs and other web pages.

File:FOSS4G ribbon.pdf - Include themes for Fiji or Oceania
