I am excited to announce a logo contest! We are looking for a logo to represent our group, The Sewcialists. What are sewcialists you may ask? A Sewcialist to me, is someone who sews or stitches, with freedom of creation: someone who makes, produces, designs and builds. It can be anything from clothes to quilts, to sleeping bags to ships sails. If you sew, and you want to join our new community, you are a sewcialist.
The contest is for a logo, to be shared and used about http://www.sewcialists.org and in many more places too. You have a month or more to complete the logo and get some sweet prizes too. I am even kicking in a custom cover for an ipad or laptop or ereader or whatever you want, if you win. So be crafty, be dynamic, and design to help broaden our creative community!
I do hope you can enter the contest. All skill levels welcome to enter! Comment or share with your friends, and let me know if you enter!
Love,
MaLora
