I joined USEA last year, foolishly thinking I would take Gina to a few recognized event. As it stands, I haven’t been to recognized event since 2006 or so, and the only schooling event I attended was not on Gina.
Part of that membership apparently includes subscription to multiple email lists, one of which is the list for my area, Area V. A couple of weeks ago, an email arrived in my inbox soliciting designs for a new logo for the Area V Adult Riders group.
Things were kind of slow at work, so I put my copy of Photoshop to good use and knocked out the logo above on a whim and sent it in.
Lo and behold, my design was chosen as the winner! I’ll get a technical t-shirt and bridle bag with my logo on it, which seems like a fair trade.
I’m super excited to have won! Now I just need to finish the logo for the barn where the horses live- maybe I can get a t-shirt out of that, too!
I need a logo. I lack inspiration and my Photoshop skills are meh though. haha Yours looks GREAT!
Thank you! I don’t feel like logo design is usually one of my strengths- I have a hard time feeling inspired! I’m really uninspired by the barn logo; it’s a dressage barn and I feel like there’s only so much you can do with dressage-y looking horses! Jumping logos are much, much easier!
Congrats! This is really nice 🙂
Thank you! I am thrilled you think it looks nice- I have mad respect for your graphic design skillz!!
Congrats! That logo looks great, really neat that you won! 🙂
Thank you!
Awesome! Congrats on winning!
I need to come up with a logo for my farm. I have lots of great ideas, but I don’t have photoshop. And my drawing skills are… well… lacking. One of these days I’ll get it done!
Thanks!
I am pretty terrible at drawing, so I have to rely on computers to do the work for me. I think logos are a hard thing to do- you don’t want to look too similar or too generic, but you don’t want anything that’s super complicated and can’t be transferred to other media easily!
Glad you won! I’m a member of Area 5 Adult riders, I really like the new logo!
Thanks! I think they’ll have some gear (and maybe prizes?) with it at the AECs!
Whoop! Winner winner 🙂
If only the prize included a chicken dinner, my life would be complete 🙁
woo hoo – congrats that’s awesome! great design too – simple creative and effective
Thanks!
Whoa!!! That looks AwESoME!!! Congrats!
Thank you!!
So cool! Congratulations! I need to learn how do do stuff like that.
There are many, many resources online for learning, and GIMP is a pretty decent tool if you don’t want to fork over the money for Photoshop.
Congrats! That is a really cool logo!
