LARGETONY Blog

So, I announced a couple of days ago that in honor of the upcoming second anniversary of the old blog, I would run a contest for any and all of you out there to do something creative with the LARGETONY logo. Even before I have fully laid out the details, I have already received a submission. The particular interpretation was not only imaginative, but it was funny and a little suggestive (and yet very very simple). It actually made me laugh out loud. (So did Knottyboy’s hypothetical submission).

Others of you are already chomping at the bit to get started on your own works. So let’s get on with it, huh?

Here are the basic rules:

1. The logo must be evident in whatever you create. You can change color, texture, materials, whatever…just make sure we can see the logo being used in some way.
2. Don’t use my likeness in your creation. It’s about the logo, not my mug.
3. Submit your creation or a picture of your creation in JPG format. This is so I can make a gallery if the submissions so readers can vote. (No jpg’s bigger than 625 x625).
4. You can enter your submission in more than one category, but you can’t enter more than one submission in a particular category.
5. Remember, the point is to use the logo, not redesign it.
6. Have fun.
7. Be creative.
8. Let your imagination run wild.
9. Don’t miss the deadline of 11:59 pm Pacific Time, Friday, August 18.

The categories:

• HUMOROUS
  Pretty straight forward. These are submissions that make us laugh.
• SEXY OR SENSUAL
  These are the submissions that are hot and or naughty.
• FINE ART
  Use the logo as, or in conjunction with, a famous work of art or architecture
• POP CULTURE
  Use the logo as, or in conjunction with, seomthing from popular culture.
• FREE ART
  Express yourself, using the logo in your own way with artistic materials. Paint, crayons, markers, glitter, playdough, cookie dough, bottle caps, styrofoam peanuts…whatever.
• COMPUTER ART
  Express yourself, using the tho logo in your own way with computer graphic programs.
• SWITCHEROO
  Creatively use the logo in place of a well-known logo
• PRODUCT PLACEMENT
  Create a fake product label, container, box, etc using the logo
• ADVERTISING
  Spoof a famous ad using the logo.
• BEST OF SHOW
  Enough said.

So, with ten categories, there should be something for everyone. And hopefully the variety will stir your creative juices. Like I said, I have already gotten a submission, so don’t wait until the last minute for yours.

All submissions must be e-mailed by 11:59 pm Pacific Time, Friday, August 18. The gallery will be posted and voting will begin Sunday, August 20 and close on Wednesday, August 30. The winners will be announced on Friday, September 1.
The winner in each category will win a black LARGETONY Logo T-shirt (in the size of your choice and with the logo color of your choice).
