bmedi@ is holding a re-branding competition

Over at bmedi@, where I am a director, they are holding a Rebrand Competition.
How good are you with words and pictures? Enter the competition and you can bask in the glow of creating a new brand for bmedi@!
bmedi@ is eight years old. Since it was launched as a thriving network of media and digital-related companies and professionals, the company has evolved beyond its original Bradford remit.
Today it has members from across West Yorkshire and beyond and has emerged as a network operating across the North of England.
With this in mind, and to maintain bmedi@’s success to date, the company is seeking to re-brand with a new name that reflects its diverse member network and its vision for the region.
In the spirit of bmedi@’s collaborative remit with its members and, with the current interest in social networks, they are throwing open the re-naming and re-branding of the network to competition – the winner will receive prominent credits on the bmedi@ website and all promotional materials, including press coverage. They will even throw in a new iPhone.
Criteria for entries:

  • The new brand and name should reflect the collaborative nature of the bmedi@ network of creative and digital professionals.
  • Its remit for sharing ideas and best practice in the creative, digital and media sector.
  • The “northern” nature of the network.
  • Our values of community, co-operation, optimism and openness
  • Be web proof with an appropriate URL

To enter simply send us your new name and brand in the form of a graphic logo (as a jpeg, pdf, etc) and you could win a new iPhone. Those entries short listed by the judges will be published on the bmedi@ website and members and non-members will be invited to vote on the winning entry.
Send your entry to newbrand@bmedia.org.uk. Entries will close on July 31, 2008.
