HTMC Logo Design: Call for Submissions

- by

We are excited to announce a call for submissions to create a logo for our non-profit hiking group, Hawaiian Trail & Mountain Club (HTMC). We are looking for a logo that captures the spirit of adventure, community, and nature that our group embodies. Keep in mind the design should be impactful, identifiable and yet simple so that it is web-friendly and able to work at small sizes like an icon. Also we would like to move away from including 3 peaks of Olomana because we no longer hike that route. Submission Deadline: Friday November 8, 2024. 

Submission Guidelines

  • Format:
    • Submit your logo in both vector (EPS) and high-resolution raster (JPEG) formats.
    • Ensure the logo is scalable and versatile for use in various mediums (e.g., digital, print, merchandise).
    • The design should be usable for anything from letterhead to t-shirts and web needs.
  • Design Requirements:
    • Incorporate elements that represent hiking, nature, and community. 
    • Reference past logos for examples (at bottom of article) and the HTMC website history page.
    • Provide a color version (with a maximum of three colors) and a black and white version.
    • Include the group’s name: “Hawaiian Trail & Mountain Club”.
    • Ensure the design is original and does not violate any copyright laws.
  • Submission Details:
    • Deadline: Friday November 8, 2024.
    • Email your submissions to: logo@htmc1910.org
    • Subject Line: “HTMC logo submission – [Your Name]”
    • Include a brief description (50-150 words) explaining your design concept and the inspiration behind it.
    • Image Specifications: vector (EPS) image 10 x 7 inches at 300dpi, and raster (JPEG) image 3,000 x 2,100 pixels.

  2. Relevance to the hiking group’s mission and values. 
  3. Versatility and scalability of the design.
  4. Overall visual appeal and impact.
