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 - if you have any problems doing this please contact me.

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.

I'm in the same boat, whatever I produce wouldn't win.............,mind you I am utterly crap at drawing and creative stuff.

Seriously, everyone has the same chance of winning, all we want is the best possible logo for TMF. If you do the best logo you'll win, its really that easy!!

Wouldnt it be a shame if the link broke and i had to repost that link?

Besides, im sure there is a rule that a persons final image posted is their entry.
normally how its done, well, was the last 2 times i won a similar competition...

Its still only one entry and eliminates the risk of a person coming first 2nd and third.
Could even say that you can post as many as you like, but can only win ONE of the prizes.
That way, the forum doesnt run the risk of loosing out on an amazing design that the person wasn't confident enough to post, because they didnt want to risk it.

This is just my opinion, it'd need the official sanction of Bec & the other competitionistas...

We all all know there's a certain German motor manufacturer who has a claim on all things Mini shaped, but they do seem to be more relaxed now. You could submit your design, but we might have to run it past BMW first if it's chosen. I can't see any reason why it couldn't claim a runner's up prize in the unlikely event we didn't get their blessing.

Craig, looks like you won't be winning this anymore. :)

I don't see them having a problem with it being a forum logo, it's just the associated merchandise that might raise some German eyebrows. But on the other hand, we are not really selling a mini product, we are selling a forum. Unless BMW puts up a classic mini forum, I don't see how we are in competition with them in the marketplace.

I feel sad having to ask this so early on but please remember a lot of effort has been put into setting up this competition so have a bit of respect and follow what we've asked. Thanks.
