Hasta La Ideas

The Architecture for Humanity Chicago is in the process of transitioning to a new role as a government-funded national chapter. As part of stepping up to this new challenge, the AFH-Chicago is seeking a new logo, and has posed the following competition to designers everywhere:

Brief: The redesign of the AFH Chicago Logo is a competition for ‘branding’ the Chicago Chapter with a new logo that will be used on all items issued by AFH Chicago. This is an open call for a logo that will represent the broader Architecture for Humanity Organization but a logo that also represents that this is a local chapter that is recognizable as a distinct chapter focused on local issues as well as the larger goals of the national organization.

Logo Competition Submission Requirements + Timeline
I. The entry should be submitted in e-mail format as a high resolution PDF file, JPG or TIF, not to exceed 8.5×11, no later than Monday, November 16th by 5:00 p.m. to logocomp [at] afh-chicago [dot] org.

II. The entries can be hand sketches, line drawings; full color imagery…anything that gets the idea across the design does not have to be the finish product as long as the idea for the logo is conveyed.

III. All entries received will be voted on at the November AFH Chicago monthly meeting and the top five (5) vote receiving logos will be forwarded to the national chapter with the winning design selected by the staff at the national headquarters.

IV. The author(s) of the winning design will be asked to work with the ‘board’ to apply the logo to the website, stationary, business cards, etc.

V. With your e-mail please state the name(s) of all entrants, your contact information and the best means and time to be contacted.
