I specialize in logo designs and would love to help your club out, any
way of giving me more info to go on, as in colors, any aditional
info...ie website, slogan, etc. Just pm me, email me, throw in in the
air see if i catch it.....lol. Or i guess since this is a contest you
could just post that info on here so it is fair for all........Let's see
our creative sides pour out now!!

Thank you for your interest!
Our club website: http://www.atlantaunicycleclub.com. (it's a work in
progress) When you write our club name you can put the dot com after the
club name so people know to look at the web.

Our (unofficial) club tag line "What can YOU do on one wheel?", with a
list of types of riding: freestyle, off-road riding, road riding,
trials, hockey, basketball, etc...

We would like to make the shirts two-sided, but we could put the same
design on the front and back of the shirts to save costs, if necessary.
A one or two-color design on a colored t-shirt may be cheaper to
produce, but if you think we need a full-color design then go for it.

Thank you again for your interest and thank you Chad for putting this
contest together.

Reid, all good points.

I have all kinds of bad ideas for a logo. So any input from me may
corrupt the process. Sometimes I have great, creative ideas. This
isn't one of them. I am counting on those with artistic skills and a
lot more experience in the logo design world to help shape the "Image"
of the AUC. Or as Reid would say Atlantaunicycleclub.com 😄

We have watched several clubs form and create great images that create a
memorable logos, that help bring interest and lend crediblity to their
clubs. Memphis, Plateau, And now Billhams new club have all created
cool logos.

Looking forward to your submissions.

Keep in mind that these shirts will need to be appropriate for kids,
adults, men and women. I would like them to be the kind of shirt you
want to wear all the time it's so cool.😄 Does that help.

Also we will try to use images that are submitted, even if they are not
the "official" logo. Shirts, web, promotional images for group rides
etc...

Personally I think Muni, Trials and 36er's have more impact than
standard uni's. Something about the *BIG* wheels that just grabs you.

THe website www.atlantaunicycleclub.com has only temporary content and
design. It was put up for information only until the actual design is
done. One of the club members wants to work on their Web skills, so
Reid and I were not only excited, but relieved. I am no webmaster, and
don't want to be. Point being, that color isn't a club color by any
means.

I have a suggestion...this works for everyone. (My credintials: 8 yrs
art director + 15 yrs hi-end printing sales)

Use caps at the beginnings of each word in your URL. Much easier to read
(especially since much of the time, the words will be whizzing past the
reader at an accellerated rate.) Separates the string of characters into
3 distinct words. The internet is not case dependent anymore.

Lets do a test:

Test results are in. If you use caps, it is easier to read AND it gets
underlined. Did the underline bias this test? 😄

I'm not a "creative type" (at least not for creating logos and such)
so I won't submit anything. It just occurs to me that it might be more
enticing to would-be artists if you mention something about the
'competition' like how many entries you already have.

people who unicycle are shyly exhibitionistic - GILD

i'd suggest that u change the name to the Atlanta Club for Lifelong
Unicyclists

:p

seriously tho
since u seem quite keen to include the 'dotcom' in the club name, it
would be nice if u could figure out a way to include something
'internet-ty' in the graphic of the club emblem
