Design our logo!

Deadline for proposals extended: December 26, 2018

Recess has thrived for 10 years without a logo, but we are ready to freshen our look!

As with many things in Recess, we're moving fast! In order to have the new logo on the coming season's materials, we will review all proposals received by December 26, 2017 (Deadline extended!). It's fast, but we are going for simple. Send your designs to recessdance@gmail.com. 

We are able to compensate $400 USD for the finished logo.

Logo Guidelines

Overall feel: Simple, playful, inspirational, organic (have an element of hand-drawn feel)
  1. Include an option that is *only* the simple "circle R" concept (see Pinterest board)
  2. Include an option with words "Recess Productions"
  3. Final files should be a) a black version and b) a white version in scalable .EPS vector format
  4. (Optional - we may not use this) A simple "www.recess.dance" wordmark​​
Pinterest mood board: http://bit.ly/RecessLogo

Things to consider and/or play with: 
- Timelessness. We have waited ten years to make a logo and would likely wait 10 more before doing it again! We need something that will stand the test of time and look great against our ever-changing materials, drawings, website backgrounds, and photos.
- Movement. (We are dancers of course!)
- The bus? Even if we don't have a bus forever, Angel has been a part of Recess lore and could be an inspiration point.
​

Things to steer clear of or avoid: 
- We don't need to see dancing bodies, per se, but always willing to entertain a compelling proposal if you feel strongly. If you choose to represent bodies, please steer clear of gender binary and gender stereotypes.
- Too much emphasis on the bus. Like we said, she may not be around forever.
- Too many colors. Again, our logo will often appear against photos and drawings. You may include a color option, but we also need a black version and a white version.


Please send your design(s) to recessdance@gmail.com by December 13, 2017. Thanks in advance for your creativity, talent and submission!
