The word “finisher” or “survivor”

Must have a mountain theme

We will actually enter these and the winner recieves $200! The chosen design will be made into T-shirts, hoodies, hats, patches, and posters. Keep in mind that the patches will be round.

Michael Marshall won this with the design he came up 2 years ago:

My Rules:

Include a mountain and something to represent running. Remember, good logos are bold and get the point across clearly. The point of this logo is a hardcore race up a mountain in Seward, Alaska. How can you represent these things visually? Remember, the text is a part of the art, incorporate it into the design, not just as an afterthought. You know how to add effects, bend it, etc.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Use the knowledge you have learned from your other projects, you are becoming Photoshop masters…

* Remember to use royalty free images or to create your own!
