Mashable needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
15 winners were selected from 2668 designs submitted by 662 freelance designers.
This month, Mashable became the “Social Media Guide.” To celebrate the launch of our new website and branding (but mainly because we thought it’d be fun), we’d like the design community to take our logo and new tagline…and Mash them up!
We are awarding 15 different winners, each for $150!
Update: Don't think "new corporate logo", think how can I create something (within the guidelines) that will fit on a Skateboard or you can see on a t-shirt or something hanging up in a museum ;)
