[size=]Submission period has closed[/size]When Don posted the logo voting on the General Discussion topics, no one thought we would generate the amount of input, submissions or support that we did. The overall amount of inputs were outstanding, so much so that we're going to open voting up but have it be structured with a pre-voting submission period first.
The process:
1. The submission period, which extends 7 days from today. All submissions must be made prior to 11:59pm US Eastern time on the Feb 26. No exceptions there.
2. After the submission period ends, the staff will review all submissions to ensure all logo submissions are politically correct, in good taste, and confirm to VATSIM policies.
3. All logos found to be in full compliance with #2 will then be presented to all members. Utilizing the SSO solely for the purpose of preventing voter fraud, we will allow members to view all submissions and place their vote (including the incumbent). Voting will cease 5 days after it begins.
4. After the voting is up, the staff will review the top 3 contestants. The popular vote winner will be rescreened to ensure compliance with #2. If it does it, it will be discarded and the 2nd best will be reviewed. If the second fails, then the 3rd, and so on and so forth.
The rules:
1. All logos shall not exceed 150 pixels in height nor 500 pixels in width. These are already fairly high numbers.
2. Logos need to be simplistic yet descriptive.
3. Logos shall be submitted in GIF, JPG or PNG format. Winners will be prompted to provide PSD or similar formats, and it's requested that these be submitted when requested.
4. If your logo is selected, you will receive credit for the logo but you immediately surrender all ownership and trademark rights to VATUSA. The logo and portions thereof will only be used for VATUSA and will be not duplicated, reused or retransmitted outside the scope of VATUSA and her projects.
5. All submissions need to be sent to vatusa12[at]vatusa.net prior to the deadline listed above. Any submission not received at that email address by the deadline will not be considered.
6. It's encouraged that members read

We're looking to let the community get involved and have a say in our direction. We are here, like you, to enjoy this hobby and make it the best we can be. I am really looking forward to seeing all the submissions and ideas you all have.
Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns.
