I want a logo for Cincinnati March(itecture) Madness. (See Part I for the announcement.) I wanted one last year and just ran out of time to develop something. So this year I thought we would have a little contest to help me.
The Basics:
The logo should be a graphic representation that represents all of Cincinnati, the Queen City, and its architecture. Ideally I would like some iconography that combines the "Queen City" idea or theme with that of our built environment. I did a little free association:
ROEBLING BRIDGE, BRIDGES, SERPENTINE WALL, SKYLINE, GENIUS OF WATER, TYLER DAVIDSON FOUNTAIN, FOUNTAIN SQUARE, CINCINNATUS, RIVERFRONT, CAREW TOWER, CENTRAL TRUST, PORKOPLIS, PIGS, QUEEN CITY, RIVER, CANAL, CANAL BOATS, STEAMBOATS, PADDLEWHEEL, QUEEN OF THE WEST, OVER THE RHINE, BEER, GERMANS, ROYALTY, CROWN, CROWN JEWELS, HISTORY, NEIGHBORHOODS, RIVER VALLEY, ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY, UNION TERMINAL, MUSIC HALL, CHURCHES, CITY HALL, PARKS, OVERLOOKS
I am particularly drawn to the imagery of a crown and the image of the stack of a steamboat and possibly the juxtaposition of those two images. But I am open to all other ideas. Steamboat image from flickr.
The Submission:
Please submit one jpeg image. The logo or graphic should include the text "Cincinnati" and "March(itecture) Madness" in some fashion. No date is to be included as I will use the same logo from year to year. See some examples from the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Final Four that I thought conveyed the idea I am going for. All images from the NCAA and I will remove if told I have to.
