    Submission Guidelines

      The purpose of the contest is to design a logo for The Yoga Studio™. The logo must be appropriate for a professional business setting.
      The logo will be used online, in print, and on merchandise. Flexibility is a key requirement, including the need to resize easily and to look good in black and white as well as in color. The final version of the logo will need to be suitable for high quality printing. It should be visually appealing on both small (as small as 2 cm x 2 cm) and large scales.
      The logo must contain the following wording: “TYS™”, “Release, Realign, Rebuild”, and “The Yoga Studio™” in font style Century Gothic. The logo must use the following colors (HEX color code): brown (301706), orange (f6d7b0), blue (a5ceca).
      This image should not be photographic (see below for information on graphic formats), and must not contain any other text besides that required above.
      Designer is welcome to submit no more than two (2) variants of the logo.
      Due to the requirements for high quality printing and re-sizing, entries must submitted in scalable vector graphic format PSD. We advise against the use of halftones and gradients unless created inside a vector graphics program. Color in this version must be CMYK, no spot colors.
      JPGs 1000 pixels square of the logo are requested so that entries can be posted to TYS™ web sites without the need for conversion.
      The limit on attachment sizes for our email is 10Mb. If your submission exceeds this size, even after compression, please send the images individually and note clearly in your emails that you are doing so.
      To recap, each entry must consist of two (2) files: the basic logo, in PSD and JPG format. We are able to handle most common file compression formats.
