(Admin code added by Palmer - 9797483001596501M)

Project Summary:
We will be offering t-shirts at our upcoming conference. The conference is for automotive service professionals (shop owners, technicians, service managers, etc.) where they receive management and technical training to assist them in serving customers and keeping up on the latest automotive technology.

Attached: I have attached the VISION logo, as well as a shirt design that we did several years ago.

What text should be included in the main part of the logo?
VISION logo does not necessarily need to be used in design. Must use "VISION HiTech Training & Expo" and "The Event for Automotive Service Professionals" and the website "www.visionkc.com". Dates of the event should NOT be included in the design so that we can sell shirts for 2 years.

Event name: VISION HiTech Training & Expo (see www.visionkc.com for more info)

When is the deadline for final entries before choosing a designer?
Wednesday, January 19th

Audience Profile:
automotive service professionals - shop owners, technicians, service advisors

Perception/Tone/Guidelines:

What type of design would you like?
Design on the front and back of the t-shirt. Options could include front left chest and full back design; or full front and back design.

Do you have any colors in mind for your logo? (if so, why?)
Not pastels! Not necessary to stick with the logo colors (red and blue). Design could be monotone.

Do you have any specific images or icons in mind that you would definitely like to see incorporated into your design?
Not at this time. Open to all styles. Perhaps trendy design styles such as Affliction shirts (without the skulls) or American Eagle. Print costs need to be considered so please have designs stay away from over the shoulder printing or other non-standard printing.

Color of shirts for design:
Open to all suggestions, we have done both grey and black shirts in the past. Would like to offer two shirt colors this year.

What is your tagline or slogan?
The Event for Automotive Service Professionals

NOTE: We will be submitting a contest soon for the redesign of the VISION logo for the 20th Anniversary celebration in 2012. We will be unveiling the new logo at this year's Closing General Session in March. Would love to have everyone participate in that contest as well!

Do you want the old Vision logo used for the time being?

slh · #3 01-13-2011, 10:50 AM

The VISION logo doesn't necessarily have to be used in the design. The wording "VISION HiTech Training & Expo can be used instead. But, yes, if the logo is used in the design we will be using the current VISION logo.

I didn't want to post the contest for the new VISION logo until I could confirm that we had interest and participation in this contest!

Is there any interest in this contest? I am losing valuable time, as I am less than 2 days away from my deadline.

I'm workin' on something now - I'll post as soon as I'm done

Hi there,
I'd like to present this as my idea for your tshirt design.
As it is, it would be suited to a charcoal-coloured shirt. With some minor tweaking, it would also look good on black.
I'll wait for your feedback.
Respectfully,
Kimber

Kimber-

Thank you for the design! I am awaiting feedback from the committee members and hope to have feedback to you today.

Anyone else participating??

THANKS!
Sheri

It's my pleasure.
I'll await your feedback.

Hello

Thank you.

Hi Sheri,
is it still open for new submission? Please let me know! I'm interested!

thanks

slh · #13 01-25-2011, 10:14 AM

Sorry! I haven't been receiving notifications of new postings on the contest so I didn't know that anything else had been posted since the initial submission! I am extending the deadline until Thursday for new submissions. I can't extend past this date since the event is quickly approaching. Anyone else interested in submitting? I will provide feedback shortly on the designs submitted. THANK YOU!

Here is some initial feedback:

Kimber: can you eliminate some of the scrolls on the outside of the artwork? Please add "&" between Training and Expo. Should read "Hi Tech Training & Expo"

Nutscreative: The wings and flames aren't working for us. Also need a different font for the VISION name.

NHR: Toom much scrollwork in the design border, and lightening bolts interfere with car design. Can you try a different font with the VISION wording?

Note to all designers - this is a male-specific shirt design so scroll work or feminine design elements should be kept to a minimum. As far as the cars in the artwork, these are not hobbyists in repairing cars but true professionals. Other artwork ideas could be engines, etc.

Thank you!!

Hi Sheri,
this is my t'shirt design idea, use cool car engine illustration.
