Hi all,

I am looking for a logo for our webiste. A friend and I are starting a small podcast to dicsuss race issues and other politics. The podcast will be called "Honk and Negro" and we will talk about current events and other issues. A few facts:

1. the logo color can be left up to the designer. We were thinking maybe black and white but we will give a little creative license.
2. We would like to see the logo in a standard 468x60 banner
3. logo should be 150x150 in .eps format
4. Prize for logo and banner is $50
5. Please note that the logo should make one think but not be inflamatory or racist.

The contest will end in one week on September 7th at 12 Noon in Indianapolis, IN. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask.

Well Bradley,

Right now there is only a prize reserved for the winner of the contest. But you never what will be "added" if something else catches our eye.

Hello Theinspirer,

I dont have any images to be used. I am pretty much giving you guys full creative license to do what you feel.

theinspirer, this looks a little too afrocentric. We are looking for a look or brand that encompasses, racial unity. I hope that helps to steer you in the right direction.

staaadesigns, the name isnt random. Honk is used to describe a white person, and Negro, a black person. Its a podcast hosted by a white guy and black guy to discuss racial issues and other politics.

Thanks Neonimage for you r submission, but this isnt what we were looking for either. I would say that the symbol you use can be something that encompasses racial unity, or hope. It doesnt have to be something already done. You can make up ssomething. I hope this helps

Kiz, I like the direction you are heading in, but it looks a little plain still. Maybe implement another element to the logo.

RuthM, i like the direction you are going in also, but again, needs a little extra sumthin'

Thanks to you both.

This just shows my ignorance, but I have never heard of a "honk" being a white person. I guess you learn something everyday! lol! I wonder where that came from? Anyway, I will try to think of something for you on this one.

Honk, as in Honky. I remember it from George Jefferson from The Jeffersons.

mgraphic, Right! Precisely.

Kiz, nice, but the graphic used is seen on a lot of other things.

Staaadesigns, I really like your last submission. Maybe the letters "d Negro" could be in all white (to contrast) or the "and could be an "&" instead. Also maybe different eyes (two guys hosting the show and this looks kinda feminine) or perhaps a different symbol altogether.
