We are in search of a graphic designer who can create 4 small vector emblems for Beat the Streets Chicago. We are a sports based youth development nonprofit that empowers Chicago youth through wrestling. We have our main logo which will not be changing, but need a small subset of emblems to give our individual locations a sense of identity. These emblems will then be used and need to be suitable for graphics and gear (shirts, singlets, etc). We already know the colors of each emblem as well as what each emblem will be. We just need someone to create it! The emblems are as follows: Plane (Chicago blue) Rose (Purple) Wave (Chicago red) Train (Chicago Green Line Green) We want each emblem to look part of the same set and to look professional and clean like our main logo, but have undertones of graffiti that represent a city feel! Deliverables: Final files must be provided as fully editable vector files (AI or EPS), plus SVG and PNG versions of each emblem. We will need to add text to these graphics down the line, so editable layers are a must — flattened files alone won't work for us. We would like these emblems created by the end of August and are willing to pay a fixed price of $350 for all 4. This price includes one round of revisions per emblem. Process: Contractor will have an initial video call with our team to align on style and direction — we'll share our main logo and visual references during this call — then work independently to complete deliverables. Full usage rights to the final artwork will transfer to Beat the Streets Chicago upon completion of payment. Our team has people experienced in Photoshop but not Illustrator, nor can they draw — that is where we need a true artist!
