A great organization in Hawai'i has recently selected the winning design in their second successful logo design competition. They received several options to choose from (79 to be precise), & decided on a monochromatic design by Muxa. They said there were several great designs to chose from which caused them to take extra time to decide on the best one for their brand.
A new logo design contest has been posted at Prova.fm today by IdahoReporter.com, a state government reporting site. The website is offering $300 to the designer who best captures the image they're going for. A full design brief has bee posted, and entries are being accepted through July. You'll want to take advantage of the extra time allowed to increase the popularity of your designs, by entering early.
This is the second contest this client has posted at Prova. In December, the non-profit successfully held a book cover design contest.

fmgraphics - One of the designes that makes Prova such a great place
Prova recently learned a little more about one of our great designers, Fred Michael. Fred's a 31 year old designer living in Montreal Canada. He's been designing for the past 10 years. Fred started his journey with Macromedia products, & has continued using them despite Adobe's buyout of the company.
I know most of the actual designers use Illustrator and Photoshop...but I am more a Fireworks guy. I love it with a passion. I've always thought Photoshop was not user friendly enough! But Vectors are definitely what you need in the Graphic Design World.
Fred loves Prova because it's like a constant challenge that pushes him to create better designs. He's pitched several great designs to clients already, & we're glad he's a part of what makes Prova great: the designers.
Fmgraphics stands for Fred Michel Graphics. You can find his company on the web at www.fm-graphics.com, or view his portfolio at Prova.fm.

One for a custom logo design, & one for a DVD cover design. We're giving $550 for the best designs. If you've got a creative design, head on over to Prova & show these clients what you've got.
