However, it is <strong>only a suggestion <\/strong>and we urge the participants to use their own judgement and imagination!<\/p>\n<p>A few important points need to be taken into consideration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>our geographical location in <strong>Cambridge<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>our link to <strong>Russia<\/strong>, Russian art, culture and traditions;<\/li>\n<li>on the whole, the logo must have a <strong>modern<\/strong> look and embody the <strong>spirit of CamRuSS<\/strong>, with its avid interest in history and contemporary life in Russia, and its forward-looking approach;<\/li>\n<li>ideally, there would be only <strong>a few colours<\/strong> involved, two or three, in order to ensure a simple and bold appearance.<\/li>\n<li>the imagery <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">must not be loaded <\/span>with any <strong>religious, political or ideological <\/strong>implications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Special notes on wording:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the <strong>name<\/strong> of the Society \u2013 CamRuSS \u2013 should be incorporated in the design;<\/li>\n<li>a careful <strong>choice of font<\/strong> is important (neither a whimsical old-fashioned script nor a terse \u201cPravda\u201d\/\u201dTimes\u201d lettering, but something fairly simple yet memorable);<\/li>\n<li><strong>two versions<\/strong> of the draft should be submitted \u2013 one with the abbreviation <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CamRuSS<\/span>, and the other with the full name, i.e. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society<\/span>, both written in the same font; the two designs should <strong>match<\/strong> and be <strong>in harmony<\/strong> with each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We look forward to your sketches in electronic form at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.camruss.com\/wp-admin\/info@camruss.com\">info@camruss.com<\/a>, to arrive no later than Monday 20th\u00a0May.
