reCareered Logo Contest - Enter early and often!

I decided to run a contest to give users the chance to design reCareered's new logo. After all, this site is built for you - so why not involve readers in building a site they like?

So here's the deal:

As I mentioned at the beginning of the year, there are big changes in store for reCareered. The website is being rebuilt, logos and graphics will be redesigned, new services and information will be added, all to make a better experience for you, the reader.

It's time for reCareered's current logo to change. Here's the current logo:

I'm calling out to readers with graphic design talent to email your designs for reCareered's new logo to me at phil.reCareered@gmail.com.  I will also run a webpage design contest (reCareered will be moving to a Joomla platform), so website designers who would like to enter early can email me for details.

The winner will receive these valuable prizes:

• Credit and links to the website of your choice in announcements and permanent links on reCareered and the Career Change Central Group of Linkedin.
• Links on many of the sites where I republish, including national business, technology and job sites

• A review/testimonial on the site of your choice and republished on a number of blogging groups/forums.
• An advertising link using your logo on reCareered's site
