The Liverpool Fringe is now launched; and next we need a Logo!
The Fringe Trustees announced at the launch event today that we're looking for a logo that 'sums up everything that's best about Liverpool and about the Fringe'. It must be innovative and experimental but still work for different applications.
So it's over to you. The deadline is Friday 11 January 2008.
Contact us:
Fringe hotline ~ 07528 295012
Email ~ Liverpool Fringe! Festival
The icon above is not the logo we're looking for - your entry must be original for the Liverpool Fringe! - but perhaps it represents something of the spirit of our communities, displayed proudly by an unknown artist as it was above the boulevard in Toxteth's Princes Avenue.
Where and when?
Liverpool Fringe! Festival is inviting submissions for the logo competition by end of play on Friday 11 January 2008.
Ideas need to be sent by that date to the Fringe! Festival c/o
Katie Beales, Liverpool Community Network Arts and Culture Development Officer, at
Liverpool Community Network
14 Castle Street
Liverpool L2 0NJ.
The requirements
The logo should be innovative and experimental, but still readable. It must be original.
It will need to work on a small scale, simple enough to use on a T-shirt, coffee mug or stickers. Coloured logos are welcome, but it is essential that they also work just in black and white.
Submissions should ideally be jpeg or pdf although postal paper entries will also be considered.
The competition is open to all ages and multiple submissions may be made.
Each entry must be marked clearly with name, address and details.
What happens next?
The deadline is 11 January 2008 and the winner will be notified by the end of January.
The winner will be selected by a panel of Liverpool Fringe! Trustees and community representatives and may be approached to undertake further design work on behalf of the Fringe.
We look forward to receiving your ideas for the Liverpool Fringe! logo.....

PUBLIC DEBATE:
Capital of Culture 08, The Tale of Two Cities?
Saturday 9th February
1.30pm
The Casa, Hope Street
Are you victim of the anti-Capital of Culture syndrome? Did you want to put some events on in 2008 but got no support from the Culture Company? Do you think the whole event is focus on tourism rather than on local people? If this is you:
The Campaign for a New Workers’ Party (CNWP) would like to invite you to join an afternoon of discussion to reflect on what alternatives are possible to the official Capital of Culture. Please come along and share your ideas with us to propose
A CAPITAL OF CULTURE FOR THE MILLIONS, NOT THE MILLIONAIRES
Programme of the afternoon
1.30 pm – 2.30pm Public Debate "A Tale of Two Cities"
What Liverpool 2008 do we want? Capital of Culture or Culture of Capital? What benefit for local people?
2.30 pm – 4pm: Informal discussion and formal meeting
We will discuss questions such as:
• What are we dreaming of for Liverpool 08?
• How will local people benefit from it?
• Is it the Capital of culture or the “Culture of Capital”?
