What does this have to do with you?

And who think the open source movement is the bees knees.

We’re looking for great designers who are also passionate about education.

Because, Like everything else we do, we want our logo to be based on collaborative innovation.

The task, Is to conceptualize the three words:Open, Equal, and Free.

The Challenge, Is to conceptualize them in a way that can be changed by other graphic artists while still maintaining a recognizable “feel” to our logo.

So, over time, the imagery will change while still reflecting the iconic ideas:Open Equal Free

We Envision• Three boxes side by side that can be filled with

icons representing the three ideas, preferably black and white. (we like the idea of a hand-drawn look as well)

• Probably an open door, an equal sign, and a bird in flight. (The open door is a likely candidate for our central logo/avatar)

• Other artists can then reconceptualize and redesign the three icons while still making our brand recognizable.

But we’re not graphic designers…

Ug want pretty picture things.

So, don’t be afraid to surprise us with a better idea!

Our favorite vectorWill be chosen as our “core” logo.

But any good submission will later be included as we begin rotating our logos.

Don’t be afraid to go wild! If you favor self-expression over “winning” we love that and would love to use your logo later!

$?Nope. Not only will you not get paid, but your idea can be downloaded and changed by other artists.

Then Why?1. To help us help the world. 2. To be part of an exciting graphic design

project (as far as we know, the first of its kind).

3. If yours is chosen for the core logo, you’ll get a place of honor among our contributors.
