Hello, all. Our company is sponsoring a small logo contest (two logos - USD 150 each) and I'd like to advertise it to the Inkscape user community. I did not see a commercial announcements list and did not want to abuse the user list. What would be the appropriate way to distribute the details of the contest to Inkscape users? Thanks - John
As I understand it this "contest" is a way of getting graphic artists to submit designs, then you pick your favorites and pay that artist or pair of artists a total of $300. Many graphic artists object to doing work on spec. And $150 per logo is at the low end of the scale in my experience. I'll inquire further in the graphic arts community. My reaction is that I don't work on spec however the request is framed.
That's helpful to know as we are not graphic artists, have no idea how that world works, and simply wanted to take the same open approach to our logo as we do with our software - opening it to anyone anywhere who was interested. If that's inappropriate or insulting, then we'll take a different direction. Thanks - John
