Ford Blue Oval Scholars is a scholarship program sponsored by the Ford Motor Company Fund. Their website connects Scholarship students with the opportunity learn about available internships and jobs as well as access information about their upcoming careers. To help kickoff what the Ford Blue Oval Scholars program is all about, they have introduced a logo design contest. The winning logo will be used as the official logo and will represent the Ford Blue Oval Scholars program. It will be used on the website and will appear on all materials used by the Ford Blue Oval Scholars program.
As someone who went to school for graphic design I must say that I think this is an AWESOME opportunity for anyone (not just graphic designers!) to create something that is everlasting and will have an impact on a lot of people. If you’re creative you should give it a shot – what is there to lose? If you are interested you can visit the website and download the guidelines that will help you implement your ideas correctly so that your contest entry follows the company trademark guidelines. It even provides you with the exact company colors so that your design stays true to the Ford name.
Once your new logo is complete, submitting it is as easy as going to the website and uploading it via the uploading tool. Contest entries will be judged by a panel of Ford Motor Company employees and design experts. The top ten entries will win these awesome prizes:
1. First Place – Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium = Retail $1,700
2. Second Place – $300 for design software of choice
3. Third Place – $150 for design software of choice
