Are you a graphic artist? The new Alaska bicycling and walking advocacy group, Bike/Walk Alaska, needs a new logo, and we want it in time for the Alaska Walk and Bike Conference this summer.

Help us capture the excitement of both biking and walking in Alaska. This logo will be used for marketing our group as we grow. We may need two versions — one that is more horizontal for use on reflective arm or leg bands, and one that is more square or vertical for use on other items, such as shirts. If you need ideas, you can see designs from other state organizations by clicking the individual state progress reports on this link from the League of American Bicyclists.

Please submit your designs by April 1 to Charles Bingham at charleswbingham3@gmail.com. Make sure to include your mailing address, email address and phone number with the designs. We plan to post a few of the submitted designs on this website for a voting session. We hope to introduce the new design at the Alaska Walk and Bike Conference being planned for June 4-7 in Sitka. More details will be posted about the conference when they become available, but the first two days will be geared toward Smart Cycling training and the last two days will feature presentations on walking and biking.

Currently, we don’t have any money for the winner. But we might be able to provide a product or two using the logo to the winner. If we can find a sponsor, we might be able to provide a gift card or cash prize.
