Logo Design Contest For Spirit Of Beacon Day's 45th Year

The Committee for the Spirit of Beacon Day is launching a Logo Design Contest for the redesign of the Spirit of Beacon Day, now celebrating its 45th year. The winning logo will be awarded $300, and will be used on all signage, website, social media, merchandise, etc. All entries will be published for viewing, so that everyone can see the range of ideas.

Design Direction:

• Community: Reflect Beacon as a community.

• Location: Reflect Beacon in its unique location between the mountain and the river, with buildings and houses in between. Consider using illustrations of a mountain, river, apartment building and house.

• Colors: Colors can reflect the Beacon City School District colors, but do not have to. The color purple has been mentioned as a desired color, in addition to earthy colors like green, brown, red, and blue. No need to base your colors off of this website. These colors are temporary and will be changed once the logo is selected.

History Tip: The original logo that was created using red, white and blue was designed by the illustrator Josh McKible under the helm of then Chairperson Gwenno James. Hats off to them for branding the day with a logo for the first time ever.
