Logo Contest: October 15th – November 15th, 2023
The Ojai Art Center is thrilled to announce a logo contest to celebrate our 85th Anniversary! We invite the entire community to participate in creating a visual representation of our enduring commitment to the arts in Ojai.
About The Ojai Art Center: Established in 1939, The Ojai Art Center has been a cornerstone of artistic expression in our community for over eight decades. We provide a platform for artists to showcase their talents and bring the arts to the heart of Ojai. Now, as we mark our 85th Anniversary, we are seeking a logo that embodies the spirit of creativity, inclusivity, and legacy that defines us.
Contest Guidelines:
- Inclusivity: The logo should reflect the diverse nature of our community and be open to all. Note that we have 8 branches: Art, Dance, Film, Literary, Music, Photography, Theater, Youth (www.ojaiartcenter.org)
- Versatility: The logo must work equally well in both black and white and color. It should be legible when scaled down to a small thumbnail and when used on letterhead.
- Timelessness: Avoid using the number “85” in the design, as we aim for a logo that will stand the test of time.
- Taglines: You are encouraged to incorporate or be inspired by our taglines: “Join, Donate, Celebrate… The OAC supporting the arts in Ojai since 1939.”
Prizes: The winning logo will become the official emblem for The Ojai Art and will be prominently featured in all our 85th anniversary-related materials. The winning designer will receive a cash prize of $250 and will be recognized as the creator of our organization’s logo.
How to Enter: Submit your logo design as a high-resolution jpeg file to artcenterojai@gmail.com by November 15, 2023. Please include your name and contact information.
