Find out how we’ve expanded the Logo of the Month contest for August, 2014, and help us decide on this months WINNERS!
The Logo of the Month competition, a contest for contest winning designs. At 48hourslogo, we hold this monthly contest to award a monetary prize to the winning designer and the person who nominated it. We see this as a great opportunity to build camaraderie within the Design Community and show appreciation for the best logo designs created each month. It’s always honoring to be nominated. There’s also a lot of excitement seeing which designs rise to the top. After a short hiatus, it’s up and running for the month of August – but with a twist.
So what’s different this month? The contest is being held on Pinterest!
What’s Pinterest, you ask? It can be described as a visual discovery tool, think about it as a virtual bulletin board. One of the fastest growing websites in history, it had over 13 million users join within the first 10 months. Today, it boasts over 70 million users, 80% of which are female. You can browse through specific topics to find what users have uploaded. There are many topics that include Food & Drink, Do-It-Yourself Crafts, Holiday Events, Design, Fashion, Travel, Photography, Gardening, the list goes on and on. When you find something you like, you can “pin” it to a board that you create, allowing you to collect inspiration and ideas from all over the world. Or upload what you have done to your own board for others to “pin.”
Now how does the Logo of the Month contest work on Pinterest? Simply log onto Pinterest, it’s free to sign up, and on the 48hourslogo page we have a board titled “Logo of the Month (Aug. 2014). When you “Like” or comment on a logo, it will count as a vote for that design. Feel free to “pin” any of your favorites too! On September 10, we will tally up the comments and likes, and whoever has the most votes wins! First place will receive $100, second place gets $30, and $20 goes to third place.
