FRIPERE NEEDS A FACE UPDATE

Hello lovely friends of Friperie!

Just wanted to let you all know that the Friperie needs a face project has been extended to October 13! Please keep those emails with your logo ideas coming! I am beyond excited to see what creative things you have up your sleeve, your 5 minute scribble could finally give Friperie an identity! Please spread the word to your friends and folk who you believe are artistically articulate. Or even if they aren't. Give it a try! Don't forget to read the rules of the project here.

Much love and thanks,

Friperie needs a face project

I've come to realise, actually I've always been aware I've just recently struck enough effort to conduct this, that Friperie has been in existence for seven or so months and still lacks a distinguishable face. We all know how annoying it is to pronounce Friperie in public (myself included) without sounding like a snotty pole-up-my-ass french wannabe or even worse, a defacer of the beautiful language. Hence, Friperie is calling its artistic friends and other strangers keen to stretch their creative bones by creating a logo for this little baby of mine.

Rules & Details:
  1. Project starts from the 13 September- 1 October 2010 (12am EST).
  2. Email logo and rambles to abigailanncruz@hotmail.com 
  3. You must either refer a friend or yourself as Friperie's friend on facebook/twitter/lookbook.
  4. Your logo must have the name Friperie somewhere in your design. At the very least the letter F.
  5. Any medium is acceptable, please resize your images though to no greater than 640 x480 dimension wise. jpg formats only accepted.
  6. The sky is the limit with what I'm looking for thematically/conceptually. The only thing I will hint is that if you intend to draw an intricate colourful Sistine chapel equivalent, you most likely will not be selected. Since its a logo, I'm after something that is original, easy to remember, embodies what Friperie is and is easy to use as a banner, tag etc. So go crazy, absurd and ridiculous. Feel free to attach a short explanation of your idea for the logo if its not self-explanatory.
  7. Break a rule and you will not be considered or disqualified from the project.
Prize & Collection:
  • Friperie will use the the selected winner's design as their logo (obviously!)
  • Credit will be given to selected winner as well as free promotion if desired.
  • Since we're still meager as a little hobby, I apologise for not being able to give a stellar prize and instead a small token of appreciation...
  •  Winner will be announced on the 8th of October and contacted by email. The winner has one week to reply with their choice of magazine and required details for subscription purposes.
  • Friperie will not be held accountable for any delays/alterations in receiving the magazines after it has paid the obligated one years subscription.
All the best and hope to be bombarded with lovely strokes of brilliance!

Love,
Abi
