A reader sends in a great suggestion for a new regular contest – designing logos for each of PoPville’s neighborhoods. If you guys think it’s a good idea – we can do one neighborhood a week or every other week depending on how many submissions are sent. Let’s start the first one off with U Street. The logo can reflect what makes the neighborhood unique or simply what you like about it. It can have a tagline or simply be an image. Depending on how many entries are submitted – I’ll have you guys pick the winner and make t-shirts for the very best ones.

If you’d like to enter the U Street competition, please send an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail by Friday afternoon with your design and “neighborhood logo competition” in the subject line.
