We are asking for your help with a new LOGO for Pants OFF Dance OFF!  PODO needs a refresher/update to its branding and we are asking you to participate by submitting your design for what you think best represents the Pants OFF Dance OFF brand, from 3/2-3/30/2020!

Here are some things to keep in mind about Pants OFF:

• Founded in 2013, and has existed as a monthly event since 2015
• Created after an abundance of specific body-type events proliferated
• Made to be a party that
  • promotes body positivity
  • is a sex-positive event, NOT a sex party
  • allow for freedom of body expression
  • celebrates dancers of ALL bodies
• Intended to be a party for *everyone*

Some technical and design guidelines, logo must:

• Be indicative of the philosophy of Pants OFF:  "a clothing optional party for dancers of all bodies"
• Be non-gendered ( pictograms of humans are acceptable)

• Look good in color (if any) or black and white, however, there are no limitations and any colors may be used.
• Be legible, identifiable, and distinguishable.  This logo may be featured on our website, our social media platforms and other mediums (stationary, pamphlets, t-shirts etc).
