CFX Creative is proud to announce the launch of its "1st Annual Bland Business Card + Logo Contest", an interactive opportunity for entrepreneurs to see, first-hand, the influence that strategic marketing and branding can have on the success of a business.
Submissions will be posted on the CFX Creative web site where participants, as well as non-participants, will have the opportunity to choose the entrant whose identity they feel would most benefit from a re-design.
Voting will continue for two weeks after which a winner will be selected from the three entries who receive the most votes.
CFX's idea behind sponsoring the contest is to demonstrate, in an interactive medium, the power that effective branding can have to help a small business successfully distinguish itself and compete with larger competitors.
We look forward to welcoming the wide range of companies who choose to participate as well as showcasing the "before" and "after" of the winning submission as an example of the dramatic impact that a visual transformation can have on the perception of a company.
Interested companies are invited to submit their business card via mail. We also request submission of a short description of why the participant feels that their existing identity is lackluster and what marketing goals they hope to achieve through a redesign of their brand identity.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
AUGUST 15, 2006
To submit your entry by mail, send two samples of your business card, along with a brief overview of your company and your "pitch" for why your card and logo needs a redesign to:
