DETAILED GUIDELINES
Logo Design Specifications
The logo should reflect the mission of the Lake Superior Art Association “to promote and encourage development of visual arts and artists in the Marquette County area.” LSAA encompasses a wide variety of visual arts, including drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, and photography, and would like to avoid a logo that suggests that its focus is on painters.
The logo will be used across multiple web platforms and must be flexible enough to use in multiple iterations of sizes and color formats. The winning logo will be easy to manipulate, resize, and transfer for all purposes of reproduction.
We prefer a horizontal layout, with dimensions conducive to use in website banners, social media, business cards, posters, and brochures.
The color version of the logo should also work when converted to black and white. Logos with color gradients and half-tones are not advised.
Competition entries must be submitted as a JPEG file and as a scalable vector graphic ( AI, EPS, SVG)
The logo must include the name of the organization, LSAA, Inc. in a standard typeface.
