Jason Calacanis used Twitter to put out out a tender for a logo for his ‘Open Angel Forum’, a group he’s forming as an antidote to the predatory, pay-to-play, cons being run on aspiring entrepreneurs.

I’ve taken a very late shot at it.

The first idea is obvious, but a little clever (I hope). The icon would be easy to brand and has the advantage of containing some information even without the text – useful at small sizes.

The second idea plays on the idea that the forum will be a hotbed of deal making. ‘Angel’ is shown as a signature and the entire logo is reminiscent of a sign, something people will look up to and follow. The emphasis of “Open Forum” underscores the frank and direct approach Jason’s known for.

Amazingly, sometimes working for free is fun.
