Duluth Superior Pride Logo Contest! $300
Duluth Superior Pride is looking for an artist type to design our logo! We have two theme ideas for you to base your work on. 1. Some version of “These colors don’t run” or “After 25 years, These colors still don’t run” that incorporated the queer rainbow. 2. Silver going for the Gold. ( A play on 25 being the silver anniversary since its our 25th anniversary of the Pride Festival in the Twin Ports.)
The winner gets $300. You have to bring your idea to the March 1 Duluth Superior Pride meeting and be prepared to make a few tweaks.
Major criteria: Has to be able to work on a button, should look great on a T-shirt, must include all the words Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Allied, Queer, Intersex somewhere on the design.
We all think it should have 25 incorporated in the design somehow also.
You may make as many submissions as you would like.
Our meeting is held Tuesday March 1, at 7:30pm at the Androy hotel in Superior. There is a conference room on what they call the mezzanine level — it’s just the second floor really.
Sounds like a recipe for a masterpiece…
I’d like to put one together but won’t be able to make it to the meeting. Any possibility you’d take submissions via email?
Absolutely! We can take email submissions at twinportspride @ gmail.com.

Not a design, a statement. “I want sprinkles, not chocolate, rainbow.”
Can we submit different designs for buttons and T-shirts? Since buttons are small and round and T-shirts offer a larger, rectangular canvas.
Ah, also, what color T-shirts will the design be on? Will there be more than one color? I’ll tweak my design a little to match the colors of the shirts.
As long as the t-shirt and button ideas go together well I think that would be fine. And we can order the shirts in any color. White, black and grey sell best though. I am glad to be getting some responses.
Another question: How many colors can we put ON the shirts? Are we looking at a one-color print, or a few colors? Will we be able to do gradients? I know the more colors you get printed on a shirt, the more expensive it generally is. But you mentioned the rainbow, so do we have free reign with colors?
You have free reign with colors!
