Calling all bloggers and graphic designers!

We need a logo for Planet Terasi. Based on suggestions from Avianto and Pujiono, I’m going to hold a Planet Terasi Logo Contest.

Update: Thomas offered an additional prize for the winner! Read below.

Update: This contest has officially ended with no winners, since there were no submitted entries. Thanks.

OK, here’s how we play the game:

1. The logo must be representative of Planet Terasi, either representing the name “Planet Terasi”, or representing Indonesian bloggers (extra points if it represents especially Planet Terasi inhabitants; I know it may be hard that’s why I settled on the more general Indonesian bloggers). A simple but catchy logo is preferred.
2. The entry must contain at least one primary high-quality version of the logo at 1024×768 minimum resolution. Alternative high-quality versions with smaller size but for different purpose (e.g. for banners) will also be accepted as an addition to the high-resolution version.
3. Logo with no text is preferred, but if you must then the only text allowed is “Planet Terasi” (unless for the alternative versions) and the text must be much smaller in proportion to the whole logo. A logo consisting of the text “Planet Terasi” dominantly is not acceptable.
4. All submitted work must be licensed under a Creative Commons license, and Planet Terasi may select one or more of the submitted entries to be used in Planet Terasi website or other Planet Terasi related publications (if any in the future). Planet Terasi will give full attributions and credits to the original author when their work is used.
5. Contestants may submit more than one entry.
6. The accepted image file formats for the logo are: SVG and PNG only. Other (especially lossy-compressed) image formats will not be accepted.
7. Send your submissions by email to contest@terasi.net. One email per entry, please. Include the image(s), your name, email address, website URL (optional) and optionally a brief description (e.g. the rationales, what you’d like people to notice, etc.) about the image(s).
8. Entries must be original work and they must never be published before.
9. Submissions containing profanity, pornography, and other offending materials will not be accepted. Tasteful art will be considered.
10. The latest submission date and time is Wednesday, 6 July 2005 at 11:59:59 PM Western Indonesia Time (GMT+7), after that the contest is closed.
11. The judging is 50% based on votes on the entries by the inhabitants of Planet Terasi (1 inhabitant gets 1 vote), and 50% by a judging panel of which the members will be selected by Ronny Haryanto and announced at a later time. The entry with the highest points wins and will be used as Planet Terasi’s primary logo for an indefinite amount of time.
12. The judging panel reserves the right to extend the contest period or to cancel the contest at any time without declaring any winner.
13. These rules are subject to change at any time without notice. Ronny Haryanto reserves the right to change and make up the rules as he sees fit.
14. This contest is open to anyone, even non Planet Terasi inhabitants, except Ronny Haryanto and the members of the judging panel.

Unfortunately I can’t afford to offer a lot of money or expensive stuff to the winner. I will, however, give the winner a 50 MB or a forwarder email account: your.name@planet.terasi.net or your.name@terasi.net. Update: good news, our friend Thomas Arie Setiawan is kind enough to make this contest more interesting. Thanks, Thomas! Here’s his message to me:

Saya mau “memberi” 1 buah domain untuk yang logonya dipakai. Free selama 2 tahun (.COM/.NET/.ORG).

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post them as comments to this blog entry.

If you are a Planet Terasi inhabitant and you would like to be a member of the judging panel (that means you can’t submit any entries), please contact Ronny Haryanto privately.
