Good idea Donna - as for SMs I didn't know we were doing anything with
service marks on the local state levels, I thought that was a USGenWeb
issue, but SM's in any respect as far as I can tell really does not have a
bearing on this, "the project is as far as I am concerned with re to the
retention of the logo, would be the "group of folks and the pages that would
carry that logo (i.e., see the
http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagenweb/table.htm".
The main thing is if someone left the project it would be unfar to have all
the cc's have to remove that logo and go thru another period of searching
for a new one. I think its pretty straight forward in that respect. Either
someone wants to create one for this purpose, or they don't, its not like it
is going to "make or break" anyone's career <smiles> .....
My interest at this time are in this project having this contest to...
Create a nice logo and have fun doing it .....
The logo should read as the other states do (first two state
letters CAPS and then GenWeb .......... i.e., GAGenWeb
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [GAGEN] Thoughts on Logo Contest
To be "politically correct", I suggest we just
have a Rules for Logo Contest and leave the "Ten
Commandments" out of it.
Has the Service Mark been officially registered?
Whose names was it registered to?

Hello everyone,
Several months ago Jimmy and I were going to
do a contest for a new logo
that matches our REAL NAME GaGenWeb. We put it
off a couple of times, and
now I believe we should get back to this as I
mentioned to the other RCs the
other day.
I believe we should have a few rules for the
contest, and thought I would
ask for other suggestions: Here are some of my
thoughts along with a couple
of other RCs comments previously:
Ten Commandments of the Contest
(1) No copyrighted images, wording, etc.
i.e., Do not covet your
neighbors work ...
(2) Must incorporate items pertinent to
Georgia. (No peaches please).
(3) The graphic would become the official logo
of GaGenWeb project and
would be "given" without charge to the project
for permanent use.
(4) No politically incorrect terminologies or
graphics. (Nothing offensive
to anyone if possible).
(5) You must have one image that is TOTALLY
TRANSPARENT in gif format and
one in jpg. other types are ok as additional,
but not mandatory.
6) The Text and graphics should be defined
legibly, and the sizes should be
in close proximity to:
1) 2.472 X 0.917 (72 resolution)
178X68 pixels
2) 2.0 X 1 - 3/4 3) 1.75X0.750
inches or in pixels 126 - 54
4) 3.25 X 1.25 inches in pixels 234 - 90
(7) Must have the wording GaGenWeb on the
graphic
(8) Deadline Submittal: Oct. 6, 2003
(9) OPEN
(10) OPEN
If anyone has any other suggestions on what the
contest rules should be
let's hear them.
Let's have some fun with this contest. I
thought I would ask several people
from other states to do the first judging and
then let the cc community
choose from those that they pick, what are the
thoughts on that process?
