The Contest Brief

Contest Holder Name:  cdipaolo

Company Name: MAC or Methacton Aquatic Club

Company Slogan: Warriors

Description and What We Do: I am looking for a great logo for a youth swim team that can be used on our swim suits, caps, shirts, letterhead, web page etc. Something clean, bold, conveying the swim team's speed, strength, Honor and Pride

Industry Type: Sports

Top Three Things To Communicate Through Our Logo Design:

#1 Speed

#2 Strength

#3 Honor & Pride

Our Target Audience:

Methacton Aquatic Club (MAC) is a non-profit, parent run swimming and diving team of 150+ swimmers and divers that compete in the Suburban Aquatic League (SAL) and USA Swimming program. The club is very often a “feeder” for Methacton High School’s and other local high school swim teams. MAC is a community-oriented program and takes great pride in the development of all its swimmers, providing instruction to enable each child to be the best he or she can be. Our Purpose: • Promote amateur swimming and diving for Montgomery County area young people, to help provide the opportunity for competitive swimming and diving at all levels. • Provide instruction for new and developing swimmers and divers and to further enhance the skills needed for advanced swimmers and divers. • Teach the values of sportsmanship and teamwork; promote excellence and provide a healthy means of self-expression.

We Like These Colors:

team colors are green, white and black. Please feel free to use different types of colors in green family. A design that is unique and easily recognizable when printed on a swim cap so swimmers and parents can identify team mates at meets and in races. Swim caps can be any color silicone, so the logo would be printed on it. I uploaded a few of the logos the high school has used before and some that were interesting form the net.

Hi All,

I realized from a couple of the questions I received that maybe I haven't been totally clear on what we are looking for, I apologize.

We need a good logo that is clear and easily distinguishable, while symbolizing the team's spirit. The challenge is designing a logo that does that and will show well on swim caps (can you see it and identify the team from the stands across the pool) and swimming gear and letterhead etc.

So, it is the logo itself, the team name and the club name that can be combined as a whole or that can also easily be broken out and used as individual pieces depending on its application, eg. - swim caps, web site, letterhead, shirts etc.

There is a link further down in the comments to the USA Swimming video on logos, which is really good and good guidance. Their great logo makeover in this video does exactly what I am talking about in the above paragraph.

Thanks!

Hi,

We are looking forward to some great designs. Please check out the video link in an earlier post from USA Swimming on the "Great Logo Makeover" for additional tips, like a horizontal logo that can be seen on a swim cap across the pool clearly is key to success. Elements that can be used in conjunction or separately depending on application and more.

Thanks!

The team goes by the "Warriors" name so if you are including a figure (animal or person), it should be a human "warrior" male or female or both in excellent physical condition, strong, brave, honorable and fast. Think Olympic swimmer. Please use the team colors of Green (multiple shades within the green family is fine) Black and White.

The best "recovery" drink after a strenuous work out like swimming is....

Chocolate Milk!

It's science, no joke.

What does "Methacton" mean?

"Methacton" is the english translation of the Lenni Lenape word for "windy hill". Methacton hill is where the local high school was built and where it took its name from.

Hi,

Speaking to our governing board it is our plan to put our new logo alongside with USA Swimming's logo on all web pages, shirts, printed material etc. Very cool.

Welcome and Thank You for Choosing LogoContest.com!

Here are some helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of our site, and your contest.

DO NOT FINALIZE YOUR CONTEST UNTIL ALL REVISIONS ARE MADE AND THE EXACT DESIGN YOU WANT IS SHOWING AND SELECTED.

1. Please rank your submissions or post general comments a minimum of 1 time per day while your contest is running. This is required should you want to request an extension to your contest and will produce the best results from our designers.

2. Once your contest receives 40 design concepts, your prize amount will become "Guaranteed".

3. Please make the most out of our messaging and comment systems.

a) Place general comments on this main contest page to give all of the designers your preferences and what you would like to see or not see.

b) Clicking on any designers submssion will bring up a page of all submissions by that designer with an option to post private comments pertaining only to his work. (Only the contest Holder and that designer can view and post to this page)

c) Clicking on the designer username under a submission will allow you to send a completely private message to that specific designer.

4. Please "Eliminate" only those logo designs that you feel have no chance of winning your contest. (Be aware that eliminating everything may discourage participation from the designers.)

5. Please rank the designs 1 to 10 and there are also options to rank Elements you like, Colors you like, and Fonts you like. This will help guide the designers toward the design that you are looking for. For the best variety of designs, try not to keep the same design ranked #1 for an extended time as this may result in copying of that design.

6. We require that you do not ask one Designer to use elements or concepts from another Designer. The general rule is that, if a Designer was the first to use and submit the idea in one of their designs, they essentially own that concept or idea for the remainder of the contest. We will remove any deisgns that use copied concepts. Requests or ideas you have put in your Contest Brief or posted as contest attachments are fair game and open to everyone. Concepts that are considered obvious will also be fair game, for example: a dog & cat for a pet hospital, shopping bag for an e-commerce company, a tooth for a dentist, initials for a lawyer, etc.

7. Once your contest ends and is in judging mode, any designer that is ranked #1 #2 #3 #4 or #5 will be able to upload any revisions you request. Simply rank a designers entry to allow revisions to be uploaded.

 

Discussion Guidelines:

1. Designers and Contest Holders please always be respectful of each other, we all have the same goal.

2. Please do not criticize any design publicly, these discussions should only be held in private.

3. Designers may not post any external links to any designs.

4. Please do not ask a contest holder to view your designs or discuss any other designs.

5. Designers can not discuss copied designs on the contest pages and may submit a Logo Dispute to the Admin only.

 

Our team at LogoContest.com as well as our designers will make sure you are 100% satisfied and want you to leave here with a design that you love!

Please recommend us to your friends and business associates for all of their logo design and web page design needs.
