The Department of Scientific & Industrial Research (DSIR), Ministry of Science & Technology (MoST), India has envisioned a futuristic idea which could influence the society in terms of enhancing creativity in thought and action. The endeavour seeks to establish an exclusive Institution of Creativity in the rapidly developing city of Hyderabad, India. Ernst & Young, India have been mandated to take this initiative forward.

The objective of this institution is to embark on the mission of developing a creativity economy by instilling creativity in thought, processes, methodology and the work environment. The concept is exciting and has a large potential but needs to be planned carefully. Since the proposed institution is a first of its kind in India, we believe, it will be fruitful to collate ideas from experts in creativity and related fields with years of experience in the same.

In this context, we would like to speak to you over phone or if possible meet you in person. Kindly advice a suitable time and your contact details for the same.

We thank you for your precious time towards this endeavour and look forward to hearing from you,

Warm Regards,

Sameer Sachdeva
Sr. Associate

A Logo For 7 Years Of Creativegarh?

7 years? Already?

Yes! Creativegarh will soon be 7 years old, that is, on the 12th of September 2007.

And what could be a better way to celebrate Creativegarh’s seventh birthday than by giving it a beautiful birthday gift that’ll last for one whole year.

How about a logo to celebrate the 7 Years of Creativegarh?

We’ve been creating a commemoratory logo for the two years inhouse. [ You can see the '6 Years of Creativegarh' logo here. ] And this time, we thought, why not have the members of the community come up with a logo.

The brief is simple, and wide open.
We need a logo that captures the essence of Creativegarh as you see it. It needs to say ‘Celebrating 7 Years of Creativegarh’ or anything better that you can come up with as long as ‘Creativegarh’ is a part of the line / phrase / copy. Also, the logo should translate easily across mediums and across sizes and should look ‘equally good’ in black and white. One more thing. The 7 Years Logo should ‘preferably’ use the Creativegarh colours. Green and Blue to signify that that it is a global community. Black to signify the magic and mystery that creativity holds. And white to signify the purity of the creative expression. The ‘CG’ swirl in the centre of the Creativegarh logo signifies the energy associated with creative thinking.

An EPS version of the Creativegarh logo can be downloaded from here. 

5 logos will be shortlisted by a panel from within the Creativegarh community itself. And then, the entire community will vote for their favourite logo. Democratic as always.

How to send in your entries?
All participating members are requested to send in their designs to me  in .jpg format, in a minimum size of 4×4 inches (450×450 pixels @ 72 dpi). A higher resolution version may also be requested. Please mark the subject of the mails as ‘Creativegarh logo’ and please send it latest by Friday, the 31st of August 2007.

Who can participate?
Anyone and everyone. Logo designers, freelancers, design companies, individuals or anyone who is feeling creative enough and thinks he / she can do a good job of it. And we’re sure you can.

And finally, what’s in it for you?
Oh come on, don’t ask that! This is the least you can do for a community that really tries to do so much for you. But yes, if your logo is the winner, we’ll make sure you get due credit wherever this logo is used – on partner websites, on blogs, other forums, and all Creativegarh collateral. What’s more, the entire Creativegarh community will give you a standing ovation. In addition to this, we’ll ensure that we use your services on a live and paid logo design project for a client within the next 6 months. And if that’s not enough, I personally promise you a fantastic meal with unlimited wine whenever we meet in person. It’ll be great to have your company.

Please feel free to forward this post to your friends / colleagues and associates.

Looking forward to some mindblowing designs.

For creativity,
Arun Verma
Moderator, Creativegarh: Where creative minds meet, work and play!

Wallace & Gromit Top Poll Creativity Poll

Wallace and Gromit are the art world’s most creative characters according to the surprise choice of 16-25 year olds in a survey. The cartoon favourites beat the Arctic Monkeys and the band Gorillaz into third place. Fourth place was awarded to “Society as a Whole,” leaving some hope still for the over thirties.

Schoolboy wizard Harry Potter was fifth, ahead of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley. Big Brother and David Beckham made up the top 10.

The adventures of Wallace and Gromit have gained three Academy Awards for creator Nick Park and the pair’s latest caper, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, is a box office hit.
