Tonight I learned there's a community of Dutch-speaking bloggers called . They're having a logo design contest that will close in less than 10 hours from now. And I want to use 8 of those 10 hours to sleep. So I quickly made a logo based on the geography and the flags of the Netherlands and Flanders. I simplified the general shape of the area to a parallelogram. I used the official flag colors, and I'm happy that I managed to use them all without making the logo look busy.
I didn't have time to think about symbols that are shared by all Dutch speakers, and I didn't see them in the other designs either.
I'm not a good designer, I'm just an ideas guy. If my logo is chosen, someone should redraw it in a vector format. The font is Tahoma, and the slant is actually adjusted to the font's italics. The reason I'm contributing is that all the other designs, except one or two, are too complicated. They asked for a logo, not for a painting.
If you agree, please vote for me in the contest thread.
