Design A New Logo For The Mini Forum - Mini Spares Vouchers To Be Won PDF
Written by Bec   
We'd like a new logo for The Mini Forum and have arranged with Mini Spares prizes for the winner and two runners up.

We would like a design that is unique to TMF, is easily identifiable as The Mini Forum and will be clear and eye catching to read on banners, flags, t-shirts etc. There are no rules on particular colours as we can change the rest of the forum accordingly to match it but It must include the full name 'The Mini Forum' and doesn't infringe on any copyright.


We will be launching a new shop and the merchandise will carry the new logo as well as new club stand equipment we will be purchasing and the forum itself. The prizes are as follows:

First prize £150 Mini Spares voucher
Second prize £75 Mini Spares voucher
Third prize £25 Mini Spares voucher

Posted Image

A valid email address must be provided by the winners to receive their voucher.

Competition rules:

One design per TMF member which must be submitted by adding it to this thread: http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/220887-design-a-new-logo-for-the-mini-forum-mini-spares-vouchers-to-be-won/

The best three designs will be decided upon by members of the TMF team, Mini Spares and the new shop and put to vote on the forum to decide the final winning design and two runners up.

Design enteries must be submitted before Friday 11th May.

Any designs made for comedy purposes will be removed from the competition and no further submissions from that member will be allowed.

Roofless will be running the new shop and has offered to help anyone needing assistance with their design, i.e. if they have an idea but not the resources to make it he can make the design to their specifications using the software he has available - the member who came up with the design idea will get the prize if theirs is one of the winners.

Any member of TMF is allowed to enter this competiton.

All votes will be checked and any unfair voting found such as from the same user using multiple accounts will have all their votes void and action taken against their accounts as per TMF Rules and Regs.
