Logo for computer party

Polar Party 31

Heilt sirkus

We've been making non-profit computer parties for young people since 1997. About 800 people gather to play games on their computers, enjoy our large arcade, watch movies, concerts and stage shows on our main stage, etc. Kind of like a LAN party, but with loads of other stuff thrown in the mix.

Every year, we have a new design and theme, but always incorporating the main event name ("Polar Party") and a form of planet (based upon the organisation's logo).

The event is called "Polar Party 31: Heilt sirkus" [meaning "totally crazy/out of control"]. With this year's theme, we want to convey that lots of things are happening, all over the place, without total control (in a positive way).

With this year's theme, "Heilt Sirkus", we're referencing a link to circus (with stage, activities, fun and games) and also a digital link to the LAN part. We want the design to have a proper nod to a circus theme (think warm lights, red, gold and white, etc).

Target audience is primarily children/youth age 13-19. Participants bring their computer and sleeping bag to stay in the venue for five days, away from home.

Designers can choose exact colours, but we're thinking more red/gold/white as a baseline. Neon circus _can_ be a way to go also.

The theme is important for us, as it's a defining character. It is used for both web graphics, facebook, video, decorations etc.

Red, gold and white - traditional circus colours. Can be neon.

You must include a version of the Polar planet somewhere in the design. Not the exact logo, but it should be recognisable. Fonts used need to be available for us to use, and have the Norwegian letters Æ, Ø, Å (æ, ø, å). The last point can be skipped for all but one of the fonts used.
