As you may have read elsewhere, our resident artist spends a long time each year racking brains to come up with an idea for the Festival logo. We've had a few thoughts for next year, but then had another idea: why not see if anyone else can come up with something better? So - over to you!

Points to bear in mind:

1. It does have to involve our Seagull, and we think it would be very unfair (and definitely not in the spirit of a beer festival) to separate him from his barrel and tankard.

2. The basic design needs to be a fairly simple black and white line drawing - otherwise it will not reproduce well on the glasses and T-shirts.

3. The closing date is 30th April 2007.

Send your suggestions (either a description or a scanned sketch) to sxbeerfest.logo@btconnect.com before the end of April.

Whoever comes up with what the artist and organiser consider to be the best suggestion will win a pair of tickets to the session of their choice at the 2008 Sussex Beer Festival.
