We seek a creative designer to conceptualize and develop a logo that will represent our annual national high school journalism competition. The logo should convey a sense of intellectual challenge, celebration of student achievement, and opportunity for growth. It will be featured on our website, printed materials, awards, and promotional items. The ideal design will incorporate simple, clean lines and utilize 2-3 complementary colors. Typography must be neatly incorporated and visually balanced. The imagery or symbolism should reference ideas of writing, media, or education in an abstract, interpretive manner. Avoid overly complex designs or thin, hard-to-read fonts. We aim to develop a timeless, versatile logo that projects a professional image and sense of prestige befitting a nationally recognized program. The selected designer must submit digital files of the final logo in at least three format/color combinations plus a short essay outlining design concepts and symbolism. Revisions may be requested to optimize legibility, production values, or alignment with our mission. Final approval and full payment will be granted once the design meets our needs. Students, sponsors and alumni will engage with this logo for years to come, so strong craftsmanship and attention to detail are essential. We appreciate designers taking the time to understand our goals and submit fresh, compelling concepts. Creativity, communication and meeting deadlines are valued.
