Design a Logo, Win Some Goodies!

Another day, another contest.

We're looking for a logo to use with our new Legacy Library spin-off project, Libraries of Early America. Very ambitiously, we intend to LT-catalog all known American libraries from before c. 1825 (you'd be amazed at how many there are). We're focusing on individual and family libraries for the time being, but may look to expand that in the future.

Wanted: Basic but elegant Libraries of Early America logo design for use on LibraryThing pages, an eventual LEA portal site (to feature essays, digitized book catalogs, &c.) and elsewhere. I'll leave it open-ended from there - let your imaginations run wild!

Reward: Tim's offered up a lifetime membership to LT, an LT t-shirt, and a Cue-Cat, and we'll also send along one of Monticello's great Thomas Jefferson library mugs to the winning entrant.

How to Enter: Send your entry (as URL or image file) to me at jbdibbell at gmail dot com by, oh, let's say 15 October. I'll circulate them to other interested parties and we'll pick a winner shortly thereafter. Tim's standard fine print ("Our decision is final, incontestable, irreversible and completely dictatorial") applies. Any questions or clarifications, just ask.
