As you can see by the top of this page the Newcastle Hang Gliding Club is looking for a new logo . . .

So they are having a competition to find one. Anyone can enter and the prize will be $100 for the design that is voted as the most popular.

Design Brief
The NHGC is about flying with friends in various ways both in hang gliders and paragliders. We fly on the coast around Newcastle and we fly inland from mountains in the Hunter Valley. As pilots we envy the seagulls, pelicans and eagles for their ability to fly with grace and agility.

The club was originally started by hang glider pilots but now it's membership includes paraglider and ultralight pilots. Hang gliders are the ones where the pilot hangs within a triangular control frame beneath the wing. Paragliders are like traditional parachutes where the pilot hangs from strings attached to a rectangular canopy.

You can see examples here;

The NHGC logo should be simple but still convey the concept of modern hang gliding and/or paragliding or even just flight. The logo itself need not contain any text but when printed on T-shirts it would be associated with the text, Newcastle Hang Gliding Club or the abbreviation NHGC. A logo designed around the abbreviation NHGC is fine.

The logo will be used on stationary, T-shirts and caps so should be able to go over any background. In most cases it will be pocket sized.

Contestants can submit multiple entries.

Format
Entries will be accepted in any format so long as it can be displayed electronically for judging. Once the winner has been selected the club will negotiate the production of the logo into a final format.
Closing Date
Entries must be submitted for judging before 1st July 2009. Judging will take place throughout July and the winner will be announced at the AGM on 29th July 2009 at Newcastle Souths Leagues Club
Judging
Entries will be displayed on our website for the month of July and a system where by members can cast a single vote will be used to determine the winner. Members who do not vote electronically will be able to cast a vote on the night either in person or by proxy.
Prize
At this stage the prize will be $100 but the club is looking for sponsorship of this event which will result in more prize money.
