Portafilter.net Logo Contest

The rules are simple:

Submit a simple, scalable, relevant, and creative logo for Portafilter.net. The winning entry will receive a tamper with the logo custom-engraved onto it. All submissions become property of Portafilter.net. No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited. You must be at least 14 years old to enter. No files over 5MB. You may submit an entry from any country, as long as Google isn't required by your government to censor websites.

Email it (preferably in vector graphic format like AI or EPS, but otherwise in a fairly high-resolution GIF... but again, nothing over 5MB) to: logocontest@portafilter.net.

Deadline for submissions is March 15th (the ides), 2006, but we reserve the right to extend the deadline if no suitable entry is received. All rights to the determination of "suitability" are reserved by Portafilter.net. Submission may not include copywrited or trademarked material.

The logo should look good on a t-shirt, engraved onto a tamper, or tattooed on the nape of the neck. No shading please. It can be colorful, but should also look good in black-and-white. Click HERE for an example of one of the best logos of all time.

(added 2/19/2006) You can put it into your (theoretical or real) portfolio and show as an example of your work to future customers (whatever that means).

Also, contrary to popular reports, there will be no punch nor pie.
