Logo Design Contest Winner
We have a winner!
As you can see the new WCT 2009 logo in is action. We would like to congratulate Paul Morrison, Seneca College Digital Media Arts student, winner of the WCT 2009 logo design contest.
As winner of the contest, Paul’s logo will be used on all WCT marketing collateral online and offline, and will be showcased at the WCT Awards.
Design concept/description
Wordpress, the current center of the web world. Wordpress has become the child of every project, with its ridiculous amount of flexibility and custom features. Wordpress is now the center.
Wordcamp Toronto is now the center of Toronto. The Middle of Toronto, hence the positioning of the Wordpress, in the center of the Toronto logo.
I’ve used the Wordpress font (at least, a similar family) in order to write Wordcamp 2009, as well I’ve included a few custom versions including Wordpress colors, minor versions, and micro versions. I even included a custom version, in which I extended the fonts.
I believe this works great, as it represents not only Wordpress being the center of Wordpress; the micro version is great since Toronto is often referred to as the T-Dot. In which, the Dot, is Wordpress.
-Paul Morrison
We would like to thank everyone who entered, and good luck next year at the WCT 2010 Logo Design Contest.
