Birmingham365.org Calls On Local Artists For Guest Logo Project
Birmingham365.org Celebrates Local Artists
The new Guest Logo Project is one more way the Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham celebrates the region’s cultural history, abundant attractions and talented artists. Individuals, attractions and non-profit organizations in the Cultural Alliance's service area (60 mile radius around Birmingham) are invited to submit their creative interpretation of the Birmingham365.org logo.
Artists can use the high-visibility opportunity to draw attention to their work. Selected logos will replace the official Birmingham365.org each Tuesday and then continue to be featured on the website, along with information about the artist and/or organization.
At the end of the year, Birmingham365.org plans to print a poster featuring all of the designs.
