The MAS is turning 50 in 2011 and as part of the 50th anniversary we will be changing our logo.

Enter the MAS logo design contest!

The Manitoba Archaeological Society is looking for a new logo and we need your help.

We are looking for a new eye-catching logo that can be used by the MAS for our website, letterhead, newsletters and journals. The idea is to capture the human side of archaeology, moving away from the static items found at archaeological sites. The logo may or may not include the letters MAS. Also keep in mind that the logo will be reproduced in a small format, therefore the design cannot be too detailed or complicated. The logo should also be just as attractive in gray scale as it is in colour.

Do you think you have the right stuff? Please submit your entries to the MAS in electronic format (e.g., scanned and saved as JPEG or TIFF format) to the MAS office at mbarch@mts.net.

Submissions to the contest will be published in the MAS newsletter for all members to see and vote on their favourite. Even if you are not graphically inclined you will have your say in the new logo. The winner of the contest will receive $100 a free membership and bragging rights. We hope to have a new logo in place before the 50th anniversary.
