This open call invites proposals on two closely related topics:
This open call invites proposals for the '''graphic charter''' of WikiDeal, that is, its visual identity: logo, colours, typography, page layout and general visual style.
* the '''graphic charter''' of WikiDeal, that is, its visual identity: logo, colours, typography, page layout and general visual style;
* '''trademark proposals''': names, signs and visual elements that could identify WikiDeal.


Ideally, two logos, or two declinations of the logo, would be created: one around '''"a Wikipedia of e-commerce"''' and one around '''"Fair deals with nice people"'''.
Ideally, a single logo would be created, together with several slogans. Two slogans already exist: '''"a Wikipedia of e-commerce"''' and '''"Fair deals with nice people"'''. Proposals for new slogans are also part of this call. Logo and slogans together would form a global communication concept, aligned with the values, principles and vision of WikiDeal.
 
The call also covers the '''ergonomics''' of the WikiDeal site. Proposals in this area would distinguish three design zones:
* the wiki part;
* the funding part;
* the design of the marketplaces, in particular everything related to smartphone applications.


Visual Identity Guidelines for WikiDeal are under construction. This call aims at gathering proposals that could feed into a first simple version of the graphic charter. A good proposal shows concrete visual material (even simple sketches), explains the intent behind it, and remains usable across the wiki, the funding dashboard and printed material.
