[sdpd] Re: XRDU:RIET: Logo Competition - IUCr Crystallographic Computing Commission (Submissions due by 2nd July 2004)

         IUCr Crystallographic Computing Commission Logo competition 
                      (Submissions due by 2nd July 2004)

            http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/logo_comp.html

The IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing is holding a Logo
competition and requests submissions to replace it's current rather
moribound and lame Newsletter logo, and very plain webpage banner (both
created by this humble scribe). Some might frown upon this emphasis on
superficial eye candy, perhaps quoting John Lyly (1554-1606) "The sun
shineth upon the dunghill, and is not corrupted". Irrespective, it would
be nice to have some graphics that the sun felt happy to irradiate.
Potential contributors should feel empowered to use any graphics they
feel to be relevant to historical and modern computing and
crystallographic symbols: e.g.,

  punch cards, digital circuits, mathematical equations, bits of
  source-code, computer valves, fourier maps, B-L strips, coffee-mug
  stains, discarded chip/crisp packets, empty softdrink/pop cans, etc,

There are three different images that are requested of crystallographic 
artists:

- The IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing Newsletter Logo
  (currently a quickly drawn round thing with some text in it)
  http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/newsletters/ 

- A graphical banner logo for its webpages at:
  http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/ 
  (final version for web will most likely be 500 x 120 pixels)

- A web banner logo for its 2005 Computing School being held before the
  Florence IUCr Congress at Siena (18th to 23rd August 2005)
  http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/ccom/siena2005/ (Venue: Certosa di
  Pontignano, University of Siena: http://www.unisi.it/servizi/certosa/ ;
  University of Siena webpage: http://www.unisi.it/ )

NB: CompComm is the current abbreviation for the Commission on
Crystallographic Computing

The IUCr Commission on Powder Diffraction logo may give people an idea
of what has been done in the past for IUCr based newsletters:
http://www.mpi-stuttgart.mpg.de/cpd/html/newsletter29.html .  Or such
things as the Shelx homepage may serve as a guide for a banner logo:
http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/SHELX/ 

Submissions should be sent by 2nd July 2004 to Lachlan Cranswick at
lachlan.cranswick...@nrc.gc.ca . Preferably in a vector based format that
is rescalable to small and large formats - and a JPG or GIF file
representation. It would be nice if artists could contribute some
explanatory text of the type given at the following "about the logo"
pages. (a paragraph would be fine - and this is optional)
http://www.cins.ca/cpdw/logo.html http://www.cins.ca/aca/ikaite.html 

Artwork should be completely original and not use any copyright or
trademarked material from other sources. All submissions become the
property of the IUCr Computing Commission; and all submissions will be
placed on its website for public view.

Lachlan Cranswick (on behalf of the IUCr Computing Commission)
