As you may or may not know, I started the Pearland, Texas, Facebook fan page a year ago. At that time I was using the Pearland city logo. That’s a no-no, kids. The city was kind enough to send me a nice letter from an attorney asking me to cease and desist. I ceased using it.
What that allowed me to do was ask Pearlanders to help me come up with a logo. A Pearland student — Anna or Annie– took the photo that is currently the page’s logo.
Because we’ve been using this logo for some time now, I was wondering if we could top it.
So, with that said, I’m starting a new contest: Create the page’s logo. I am accepting new logo designs between now and March 15. The winner will receive free advertising for their business, nonprofit, event or whatever for two weeks. Two weeks of being recognized via a daily wall/news feed posting as the winner, along with whatever you’re promoting. The Pearland page now has more than 3,800 followers and nearly 200,000 post views per month.
If you don’t have anything to promote, cool. If you do, cool. If I don’t receive any submissions, cool.
If you’re interested, drop me a new logo submission by March 15 at druth@rice.edu. I will announce a new logo within days.
The new logo should be something that someone from outside Pearland would gain something from — hint, using the city name is probably key. Photos, graphics, whatever. Put your creative Pearlander brain to work.
