Years ago on a graphic forum I used to hang out on they had a distinct competition every week. It was a Logo battle for a made up company each week, or every two weeks. This was to help artists with concept and presence design to help build your personal portfolio if one was trying to get work in the field as a designer. Plus it was really fun to see the differences in the logo styles people would come up with.
anyways its an idea and a different type of battle than people are accustomed to seeing here so I thought I would lay it out there.
