Logo Design Brief
*** May 10 update ***
1st, 2nd and 3rd places have been awarded.
No new designs please.
Have requested admin now close the contest. Great logo designs submitted - well done to all.
*** Brief
We are a new film festival in search of a logo.
We only screen Short Films - so films under 20 minutes in length.
Our festival will be called 'Canada Shorts' and the logo must (mandatory) have the text: Canada Shorts. It may (optional) also have the text: Film Festival
If you think the logo looks better with 'Film Festival' also added then do so.
We have a preference for the text in all UPPERCASE, or just Capitalize The First Letter In Each Word. You decide what looks best for your design.
We would like the design to feature some bright colors. We will leave the color choice to you.
It is important that the design stands out and attracts the eye - hence the bright colors.
We have included 17 example film festival logos that we like.

We do not have a website yet.
Mandatory logo text: Canada Shorts
Optional logo text: Film Festival

Requirements
Must have
- We would like the design to feature some bright colors. We will leave the color choice to you.
- It is important that the design stands out and attracts the eye - hence the bright colors.
Nice to have
- Hint of a film maker element or elements e.g. film feel or film camera etc - this is not mandatory but about 7 of the 17 film festival logos (see images attached) that I liked (from actual existing film festivals) have such an element.
Should not have
- Canada flag
