.epub Logo Submission
Before I begin, I want to make it known that I’m completely aware that logo contests are controversial and considered to be a poor method of getting design work done, not to mention are exploitative. I’m fully aware of and typically support the website No Spec (article on design contests).
In this case, however, I made an exception. The IDPF’s .uPub logo competition was near and dear to my heart (I worked at BookNet Canada for nigh on 3 years, liaising with publishing industry giants and working on the Canadian Bibliographic Standard, somewhat related to IDPF’s epub standard), and I felt like I could come up with a sharp design that, at the very least, I will proudly display in my portfolio of logo design. The IDPF is also a not-for-profit company.
Here is my submission. I assembled a quick alternative use and rationale document to accompany my submission. I’ve got my fingers crossed on this one!
