| Is there an artist in the house: Shooting for a Cause
Hi everyone. If you haven't heard Jason has been making some amazing headway with the calendar project. He is in contact with a woman with the NCMEC and is possibly filling out, as I'm typing this, what I'm sure is an unexciting form in hopes of getting us license rights for their logo. We're thinking positively and moving forward with other aspects of the project. Jason has started confirming permission to use previous submissions for the photo book and has opened submissions up again for new work based on the calendar categories.
This topic is in reference to an idea we had to create a button for the web that Jason could post on ShootingforaCause.com and then code that could be placed onto others websites that would link directly to cafepress where people could buy the calendar. However, we need some artwork for the button.
I think it would be best if part of the artwork could become the permanent Shooting for a Cause logo. Then perhaps if this event works well we can use the same button for other events. So, let's see what the artists in the house can come up with. Perhaps anyone with ideas can post them here to spark some inspiration. I'm not sure what kind of format Jason would need the artwork in. I'll find out and then add that in here.
Thanks everyone.

1 edit | What size do you need for the logo?
Will the logo be used in print?
Do you need the logo in both raster and vector form?
How many colors can the logo be? |

| I think we would want to make different sizes available. This way, people could pick the best one for their website. We should also have a print-worthy version to stamp on each of the calendars.
As for the exact sizes, I'm not sure. We should probably find some similar web buttons out there and see what sizes they use.
I would think we would want both raster and vector, if possible. Doesn't vector resize better?
Finally, I don't think there's a limit on the number of colors that the logo could be. |

Upon thinking about this, would this thread be better suited in the Avatar/Graphics forum? |

For web graphics you would want either JPEG or GIF. Web buttons and banners have specific sizes they adhere to, so you would want to keep those size restraints.

USA | Thanks for the references.
I think we would want to shoot for Square Button, Micro Button, Button 1, and Button 2 sizes just to have some good variety going. |
