GLOBAL14 CONTEST

Want to add “I designed the Global14 social logo” to your creative portfolio? Well, now you can.

Jermaine Dupri (JD) (@LTLline) and I launched the search for the next great social logo designer through a contest hosted onGlobal14. Announced tonight through JD’s Twitter feed, we are ready for entries.

What are the logo criteria? It should be a social media-ready logo to be used for all smart phone apps and other online collateral (keep social media avatar and app logo sizes in mind). Encompassing the Global14 brand, this logo will be THE visual representation of the online community started by JD.

Submissions are being accepted now through Friday, November 26 at 5:00 PM ET in the“Global14 Social App Logo Design Contest” group. JD’s favorite entries will be shared via social media and Global14 allowing his social community a chance to share their voice.

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, November 30 at 9 AM ET.

What do you get if you win? Full attribution of the artwork and a post about you and your skills on Global14.com and a chance to chat with JD via Skype or FaceTime (if you’re a Mac user). Plus we’ll let all of our online friends know about the great work you do.

Anyone can submit designs or multiple designs. All designs must be ORIGINAL IDEAS.

Questions? Email: [email protected].

Good luck!
