+Dekaner Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 After much anticipation, the New York Geocaching Organization will be running the 2nd Annual Cannonball Run in the coming months, compete with some new and exciting action. To kick things off, we are looking to redesign the Cannonball logo and website currently located at: http://www.ny-geocaching.org/cannonballrun/ . Without giving away too many details - don't worry they'll be coming soon - we will be charging a small fee to enter the race. (The fee will help with out own costs to run the race, a custom tag for each racer and the prizes to the winners.) The winning logo entry will receive a complimentary entry into the race and the opportunity to become part of a new Geocaching tradition. We will be accepting entries until the end of the month. The winner will be decided by NYGO's leadership shortly after. Entries can be posted here or emailed to us at cannonballrun@ny-geocaching.org . Good luck Cannonballers!! Quote Link to comment
+OurWoods Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Can't wait! Though my bug never made it out of NY during the race (thanks Dustoff21 ) I can't wait to play this new version! Quote Link to comment
+bons Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 a custom tag Should I start making sure I have an unregisted TB saved now or are you thinking about buying a bulk printing from geocaching with a reserved series of numbers? (And wouldn't that be sweet to own or find one of those?) Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 You will be required to have a new tag with no mileage on it. We looked into having custom tb tags made, but at this time it's just too cost-prohibitive. We are still interested in doing that, however, and may have them for the 2005 race. Quote Link to comment
+pnew Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 my guess is you want this to be banner size like the old logo? Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 my guess is you want this to be banner size like the old logo? I don't believe we put any restrictions as to the image dimentions. Feel free to use your judgement, but please make sure you keep an original in high resolution to allow for future use.

+Eric K Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Any idea when the page will be updated with the 2004 information? I also may be able to donate a USA Geocoin as one of the prizes. Race promoters feel free to contact me via my profile. Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 (edited) Here's my entry... Hope I was allowed to use the NYGO logo... Edited January 10, 2004 by TeamK-9 Quote Link to comment

As the contest will run until the end of the month, the new site will be unveiled shortly after. Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 And just for the heck of it, I'd like to also submit this design with an alternate font... Quote Link to comment
+welch Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 After much anticipation, the New York Geocaching Organization will be running the 2nd Annual Cannonball Run in the coming months, compete with some new and exciting action. Need More Information!! Like how much will the fee be? Who do I send this to? When will the racers need to be sent in by? Who do these get sent to? When will the racer start? Where? Route? Rule changes? (who can I spam more questions to? ) If these answers are listed somewhere else already, please direct me there Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 Without giving away too many details - don't worry they'll be coming soon Be patient, we're working on them now. They will be published when they are complete. For now, just know you'll need a new TB tag and a car/truck/van/motorcycle type travel bug to attach it to. Quote Link to comment
+Team Kuebbing Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Dustoff 21 and Dustoff 8 are in Egypt for a year but I'd expect to see just as much treachery as last year. I can't wait. Please hold the release gathering in Syracuse. Quote Link to comment
+Dekaner Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 While interference is in the true nature of the Cannonball Run, I would hope that no one will extend it to treachery this year. We'll be making some rule changes to try and keep things in the spirit of the race as well as trying to ensure everyone has a good time. Please use good jugement. Quote Link to comment
+pnew Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) -here's my entry -with logo -at 50% I know I've sinned and made my logo hard to integrate into the universal background color... black... but hey maybe a lighter bk color might brighten things up a bit.

+MissJenn Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 Just my two cents here: I would prefer not to look at other people's designs/entries before sending in my own. It harms my own process of imagination. Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 So, umm, any news on the event yet??? Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 So, umm, any news on the event yet??? I agree with K-9. If the event is supposed to start in March that will be here before you know it. :-) Quote Link to comment

If the event is supposed to start in March that will be here before you know it. :-) Its starting in MARCH!!!!? Who said this????? My mistake. No one 'said' it would start in March. It was just that last year' race started in March so I was assuming this years race would. And of course if anyone has seen The Bad News Bears you know what happens when you 'assume' something.

Well I would guess the start will be a month or two (or more... im just guessing here), one of the more common complaints/suggestions after the start last year was move the start back because the weather was still not very nice so the TBs moved slow.

+Dekaner Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 We have taken into account the weather related start last year and will be trying something new this year to try and improve things. Our plan is starting to firm up. A new website wil be launched early next month, at the completion of the logo contest. All of the updated rules will be posted there. You will have approx. 1 month from the release of the website to send in your bugs before the race. For now, just obtain a new travel bug tag and find a vehicle to attach it to. We'll provide detailed instructions on what to do with it next when the website is launched. Quote Link to comment
+bons Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 (edited) When's the deadline? I was going to be doing some graphic work on my tb entry tomorrow and I might as well beat the heck out of two birds with one stone. Edited February 21, 2004 by bons Quote Link to comment
+brad.32 Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 We will be accepting entries until the end of the month. The winner will be decided by NYGO's leadership shortly after. ... Dekaner started this thread with that near the beginning of January, and I'm pretty sure it means end of Jan. Quote Link to comment
+bons Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Since the page layout needed a black background, I figured I'd do some goofing off this morning and have some fun. If you want to use it, it's all yours. If you want some varition of it, let me know and I'll touch it up. Quote Link to comment
+brad.32 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 The Cannonball Run web site has had some updates for 2004, but the old logo is still there. Does that mean the old logo won the contest, is the winning design going to be unveiled when the race starts, or something else? ... I didn't enter the contest, nor do I have anything to do with organizing the race or web site, just curious about the result. Quote Link to comment
