Inkipedia:Logo Contest 2022

This project will coordinate an art contest, Inkipedia Logo Contest 2022. The goal is to have fun and to potentially replace the Inkipedia logo. There will be a feedback round, then a vote to determine the contest winner. Afterwards, a final vote will have the contest winning logo compete against the current logo.

Why replace the Inkipedia logo? Because of the source of the logo, and because technical requirements are changing for logos on MediaWiki wikis, and because almost everyone agreed to the idea.

Current phase: Propose rules and discuss them.

Timeline
The timeline has not been finalized. The rules have not been finalized. We are not accepting submissions.

Guidelines
If any information on this page confuses you, ask for help on the talk page. There are many skilled artists participating who are happy to help you!
 * An Inkipedia account is required to participate. If you don't have an account, go ahead and create one!
 * For the purposes of the contest, submissions may be in PNG or SVG format, with sizes listed in the required submissions section.
 * Vector art (SVG) is recommended over raster art, because vectors can be scaled to fit any size. However, if you prefer raster art, feel free to submit raster art.
 * We will eventually require submission of the source file (like Photoshop's PSD file, Illustrator's AI file, or GIMP's XCF file) so that we can make changes if any changes are ever needed in the future (like special events, other languages, changing the size or color). So, please make sure to keep your source files saved for when we ask for it. Only the winner of the contest will be asked to submit source files.
 * If the winner of the contest submitted raster art, we will give the source file to a graphic designer who will convert it to vector art.
 * By uploading art for the Inkipedia logo art contest, you are licensing the art under CC BY-SA 3.0.
 * There are no requirements regarding what the logo should look like. Just aim to create an original logo that looks good at a variety of sizes.

Required submissions
3 submissions are required: (1) the icon, (2) the wordmark and (3) the logo.

Sizes are expressed in pixels, width x height.

If you are using raster art, the source file should be quite large, like 1000 x 1000 for example. If you are using vector art, the size of the source file doesn't matter. When it's time to submit your art, export your work at the sizes described below for each category.
 * Icon: Art only. Size must be 100 × 100.
 * Wordmark: "Inkipedia" wordmark only. Height must be 36. Width doesn't matter.
 * Logo: Art and wordmark. Size must be 270 x 270 or 270 x 310, your choice. The 270 x 310 option has extra height for the wordmark, if you don't want it to overlap with the art.

During the voting phase, we will display the submissions at their actual size and at half-size, so that voters can judge its appearance at a variety of sizes.
