Logo contest! Win $300!
There’s just one little catch: You have to design a logo for A Voice for Men.
But the logo contest is a real thing, as is the prize. Go here for the details.
You can see my first attempt above. Post yours below! And maybe even submit it to the official contest.
Also, read the comments over at AVFM to see Mr. Elam bring the banhammer down on a graphic designer who offers to do the logo for free. No, really.

RE: emilygoddess
Yuuuup. SO not ever using THAT place to sell my wares, kthx.
What really bemuses me is that AVFM used it at all. I thought they were a pretty popular site, with a commentariat comparable in size to Manboobz? Did Elam seriously not know if any of them were artists of a hireable quality? I mean, Manboobz has me, katz, and Shaenon, just off the top of my head. I guess I just feel weirdly CONFUSED by how Elam chose to do this.
Maybe doing art is un-manly or non-alpha, and that’s why they don’t have any artists in residence.
(I’m guessing the real reason is that if anyone suggested that they might be good at something Elam’s ego wouldn’t be able to take it and he’d drive them off.)
LBT — those are perfect!
The thing is, from what I’ve seen of AVfM and the other main MRM sites, they don’t really have much of a community outside of the “she done me wrong” stories. We know a lot about each other because we enjoy each other’s company and we aren’t hellbent on talking about the same damn thing eleventybillion times. So, it would come as zero shock to me that Paulie only knows about the personal lives of, tops, 6 readers
I don’t think Elam has friends, he has followers and enemies and that seems to be it.
Wow. That graphic designer was shockingly polite throughout that whole conversation. It’s almost too bad he’s an MRA bonehead.
I love Paulie’s “I am working on my anger this week!!! RAAAAAAARRRG” spiel as he bans someone for giving him free advice.
Au contraire: They know the artistic skills of their members because of Artistry Against Misandry.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to me, but I find this sad. I love getting to know other Boobzers! I’ve made buddies through there! (Including, most recently, a lurker who turned out to be friends with one of my friends!)
RE: katz
LOLZ. Touche.
Look likes an stylized bull to me. Which makes sense, because that’s what their site is. So, graphic accuracy?
Reminds me a bit of the texas a&m or texas tech logos.
katz, love the new AVfP logo!
I couldn’t resist. They want Vector art? Flash does Vector art.

Yikes! That was like a look in Pauly’s alleged mind!
With Papyrus, no less! You sadist.
Comic Sans is too good for them.
Oh, and congratulations on the housing, LBT!
Woo, yeah! Now I just gotta survive the holidays, and I am SET, my friend!
OT: Happy Veteran’s Day, USians, have a Leyendecker.
