1.2. The logo must clearly reflect the idea that Cor Carlit Gospel is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In addition, including symbols or images traditionally associated with the Cor Carlit Gospel image will be positively valued.

2.3. Each participant may submit up to 3 different logos.

 

2.4. Candidatures must be submitted under a pseudonym (alias).

 

3. Technical Conditions

3.1. The designs must be original and unpublished. Each participant is responsible for certifying this originality and guaranteeing that their candidature is the result of their personal creativity, their own work, and does not infringe on the copyright of others. Consequently, they must certify that they have not used the work of any third party, such as images or design elements not created by the participant.

 

3.2. The colors used in the design must be white and red. Optionally, a third color may be included.

 

3.3. The technique is free, but participants must take the following criteria into account:

b. The logo must be clearly visible even when reproduced at small sizes.

c. The logo must be able to be reproduced on different media and materials.

 

3.4. The color design must be accompanied by a monochrome version (black and white or grayscale) that allows reproduction using only one ink.

 

3.5. The design must be submitted in digital format, preferably in scalable vector format (.ai, .svg, .pdf, .eps). If submitted in a fixed resolution format (.psd, .png, .jpg, .tiff), the design must be at least 2,000×2,000 pixels in size. In any case, the highest possible resolution is recommended.

 

3.6. The typeface must be BlairMdITC TT-Medium for the text “Cor Carlit Gospel.” If a second font is included, it must be freely downloadable, and the technical details (font name, size, and color) must be submitted along with the design.

 

3.7. Any candidature containing sexist, xenophobic, racist, homophobic, or offensive content will be disqualified.

 

3.8. Submitted originals will not be returned; participants are therefore advised to keep a copy of all submitted materials.
