In case you’ve missed our last couple of meetings, RISE is committing significant time and sweat to planning the first Security BSides in the Roanoke area. We plan to present BSides Roanoke in May 2020!
Here is your opportunity to support your favorite local InfoSec group and make an impact on the premier of BSides Roanoke 2020!
RISE is looking for a logo for its upcoming BSides Roanoke conference on 30 May 2020. We want this inaugural event to make the region proud of it’s professionals. What better way to show your pride than your personal contribution?
The logo will be used in all media and advertising for the event, and will be central to the event’s identity. It should incorporate themes relevant to the Roanoke region as well as Security BSides and represent them in a professional manner. Those unfamiliar with BSides can find more information on the Security BSides website. The site also provides links to many other BSides event sites which will provide an idea of other event logos.
We desire a logo that can be formatted for all types of digital and print media. The logo will end up on the RISE and BSides Roanoke web sites, Twitter feeds, RISE YouTube channel, posters & flyers, T-shirts, and more. Successful entrants will make full consideration of logo size, font styles, colors, etc for readability and recognition across different media. The entry should stay true to the theme of Security BSides and incorporate unique Roanoke regional elements to provide a distinctive, professional style.
Some guidelines:
- Entries are due by 20 Oct 2019, 11:59pm EDT
- Entries must be submitted to roanokeinfosec@gmail.com; use the subject line “BSides Roanoke logo entry”
