🪧 Submissions

Every refresh, a new face. Yours could be one of them.

Every time someone loads a page on this site, the logo at the top gets picked at random from a small set of styles, so regulars see something a little different each visit. There are fifteen right now. Design one in your own style, send it our way, and if it fits the spec below, we’ll add it to the rotation.

A few from the current rotation

These three are already live on the site today. Yours could sit right alongside them.

What it needs

Text
Just the words Artistic Accessibility Collective. No tagline, no icon, nothing extra.
Shape
Wide and short, like a bumper sticker, not a business card. The site fixes the height and scales the width to match, so it never gets cropped or stretched, but a tall or square layout will look tiny once it’s squeezed down to that shape.
Format
SVG works best since it stays crisp at every size. A PNG is fine too if it’s at least 1200px wide.
Background
Fully transparent. No background box, no background color, not even white.
Colors

This one needs to hold up on a dark blue background, so light, bright, or high-contrast colors work well. Steer away from navy, black, or anything dark that would blend right in. It needs at least a 3:1 contrast ratio (the WCAG minimum for large logo-style text) against both #0d1e4a and #263590, the two blues it actually sits on. Check yours with a free tool like the WebAIM Contrast Checker: enter your color as the foreground and try each of those two as the background.

Alt text

One sentence describing what makes this version look different from the others, written the way you’d describe it to a friend who can’t see it. This is how screen reader users get to experience the same variety everyone else does. Two real examples already in use:

“Artistic Accessibility Collective: bold rounded white letters with a thick outline, carnival-sign style”

“Artistic Accessibility Collective: thin spaced letters with a subtle lean and fine detail”
