Logo Specifications:

• The design may include a maximum of 3 colors total (including black).
• The winner of the logo contest will be responsible for submitting the logo in several formats (.tif, .gif, and .jpg) to the ECWCA Executive Board.
• The final logo should be scaleable—the Board should be able to enlarge and reduce it as necessary for various print and electronic contexts.
• Any writing should be legible, whether the logo is small (as for letterhead) or large (as for a poster).

Submitting Your Logo Design:

• You may email your design anytime before March 1 to Ellen Schendel (schendee@gvsu.edu) and Jeanne Smith (jrsmith3@kent.edu).
• You should email with your design a brief (2 pages or less) statement that describes and explains how your logo represents the ECWCA.
• So that we can blind review your design, please do not include your name or other identifying information on your design statement or logo. Instead, please submit a separate document with your name, institutional affiliation, email address, phone number, and street address. Please also indicate your title in your writing center (director, tutor, etc).
