A Design For Life

The Dimension Jump logo competition returns.

24 January, 2014

It barely feels like eight months since the last Official Red Dwarf Fan Club convention, Dimension Jump XVII, wrapped up - and that's probably because it is. But despite the fact that many convention-goers' hangovers probably still haven't fully gone away, the club are nevertheless already hard at work planning the eighteenth convention, which is set to take place in 2015.

Precise date and location details for DJ XVIII will be along in due course - but in the meantime, with a new convention, naturally, there must come a new logo. As such, it's once again time for the fan club to throw open the doors to their now-recurring tradition of asking you the fans to have a go at designing it! One talented fan will get the chance to follow in the footsteps of Arfon "Strawberry" Jones and Christopher "Mugs" Williams, and see their logo emblazoned all over the convention hall, as well as a range of mugs, t-shirts and whatever else the fan club decide to flog to people. Oh, and they'll get a free ticket to the event, which is nice.

Here are the detailed instructions, hot off the fan club presses:

• The logo must include a clear and striking emblem for merchandise use. DJXV's Earth design, DJXVI's Strawberry and last year's magnificent Mugs Murphy designs are perfect examples of this.
• It must also include the words "Dimension Jump XVIII" in a clear, stylish font. For bonus points the design could also support the removal of 'XVIII' to give the design more uses in the years ahead.
• Please submit your entry in jpg, gif, png or similar formats and ensure it is a manageable size. Should you win you will need to be able to provide the (large as possible) original in psd or similar format.
• Hand drawn entries are welcome, but bear in mind that we need something that can be converted into a high quality image.
• By entering you are agreeing that the Fan Club can use your logo, free of charge, for any purpose it needs; for example, merchandise and marketing.
• The winner will be selected purely on the merit of the design by a panel including Fan Club team members who will have no knowledge of the identity of the entrant. Their decision will be final.
• Finally, the closing date for the competition will be 23:59 on Friday February 28th 2014.

End of February? Blimey, that's not very far away - we'd better break out the felt tips...

While Grant Naylor Productions fully supports the Dimension Jump convention, please note that it is not a GNP event, and both the convention and this competition are organised and run by the official Fan Club.
