2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Every year our group holds a contest to change the look and feel of our group. Do you have a great idea for 2024 masthead and logo? Here's your chance to share it with the group!

Read through the requirements below and then start creating. When you're finished, post your two images in a comment on this thread. We will put up a poll to vote on the winners.

The person with the winning design will get to choose the theme for June 2024!

All entries must be submitted in this thread by December 19, 2023.

Requirements:
1. Your images must be original and free to use.
2. Your images must be clean (easy to read and appropriate for all ages).
3. Your logo image should be about 115 by 115 pixels.
4. Your masthead image should be about 970 x 245 pixels.
5. The two images should go together.
6. Your images should be relevant to the group and should contain the group's name.

It's by no means a requirement, but our theme this year is SEASONS- so feel free to incorporate that creatively into your design!

Note: the winner may be asked to make minor tweaks to their image in order for it to be used while keeping to the spirit of the design.

Important: please ensure your settings make it possible to receive messages from anyone on Goodreads so the mods can contact you if you win!

Places to Post:
If you have a place to do so, feel free to host your image there and post it here. If you have no corner of the internet you call your own, you can host the image to the group itself by following these steps:
1. Click here and then click "add more photos" on the far right of the page.
2. In the "title" space please put your name so we know who the image belongs to.
3. Post a comment here with your image in it.

Tip: Post hosted images like this: [img src="IMAGE LINK HERE"] but replace []s with <>s.

We can't wait to see what you all come up with!

To start everyone off, here are my designs for a logo and masthead:




I look forward to seeing many more entries :)

Here's mine :)

I love it Ashleigh! So bright and happy :)

Already it's shaping up to be another year where it's going to be hard to choose what to vote for!

Hola!
I can't believe we're here again, time flies!

These are all lovely!

Oh my word, these are gorgeous! However will I vote for only one when the time comes?!?!?!

My first time doing this, I hope I did it right.

Stunning.

Holy smokes! these are all awesome. We have so many creative people in this group!

I'm finding really difficult to resize the image with the required dimension.

I think most graphic design apps allow you to change the pixels to exactly what you want and you can create within that space.

Loving all the submissions so far!

Here is my submission!

I might have to use a randomizer or put names in a hat to choose who to vote fore since there are more than two I love. If it ends up that there are six I love I can just roll a die.

Here is my submission.

Here are my offerings:

Here's minee

Holy Moly. These designs are brilliant. This will be very hard to vote for one only.

That's the case every year, at least since I joined :)

Indeed! we've got some really creative folks amongst us!
I kinda wish Goodreads allowed a display image that would change every so often :D It'll definitely be a tough choice!

Love the options! This thread will be closing in 4 days so anyone wanting to submit one, do so soon!

WOW!! I wish I were creative and knew how to do banners like the above. You all are so talented, creative, and unique in your styles! I love all of them!

I'm looking forward to voting even though the decision is going to be difficult. All are well done and I have too many favourites (favourites just based on genetic predisposition to like certain colours, not talent!)

Submissions are now closed. Vote here!
