Calling All Artists

As CPSIA-Central grows and becomes more visible, we are in need of a proper logo. I know that right here in this group there is much artistic talent, not to mention among your friends and colleagues. While I can't offer much (or anything) in the way of monetary compensation, I can offer public accolades and some publicity. We will announce the winning graphic artist, and provide links to their website.

Additionally, if the winner has children, I can offer a selection of free toys (and maybe other members can offer a few other "lead free" prizes).

I would like to receive entries by end of day Feb 1st. We will then take a few days to choose the winning entry, and will need some time to create a sign, using the logo, for our CPSIA-Central Toy Fair booth.

Please post your entry in the photos section along with any information about the artist and their company. (Even entries that are not selected, can get some publicity.)

Do you have any requirements as far as size of the image, and do you need more than one size for different purposes?
Thanks,

Also, for bonus points, it should have a part of it that can stand on its own (see our company logo at challengeandfunwholesale.com. Our logo works as a complete name, but if you chop off the regular characters you still have an identifiable symbol. These are just some of my thoughts, but I don't want to hinder to artistic juices.

Does that answer your question about size? Please clarify if I am misunderstanding. Thanks!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Jared on January 27, 2009 at 5:17pm: I was just reading about how motorcycle parts manufacturers are realizing that the law can apply to them. When we start talking about laws designed to prevent toddlers from putting lead-laced toys in their mouths that can potentially regulate the manufacture of small displacement engines, I think we have reached the point where something like this might be appropriate artwork for this and other related sites:; ▶ Reply to This

Would just love something done about the CPSIA. (After all, how can we possibly comply when we've been waiting on test reports since December. Is it our fault? And we have whole product lines that we are suppose to now just toss when the rules have been so vague up until now?) Anyway, I'll start on the logo tonight.; ▶ Reply to This

Help Support the new CPSIA Documentary!

A CPSIA documentary is in the works. Since the mainstream media seems to think this is not worthy of their precious air time, this is another great way to get the word out and put our leaders on the "hot seat" to explain themselves. We know that the impact of this travesty is widespread. Now we just need to collect our pennies together and help support the documentary. We have over 700 members here. Imagine if everyone gave just $20....(that would be $14,000 and good chunk of the cost). Here is a quick way to make a donation.

This is a donation to support the making of a CPSIA documentary (see link for details). CPSIA-Central is not affiliated with this organization, and is offering this space for the paypal button in support of the documentary.
