DSP Media is in search of a logo for their forthcoming girl group, April.
The entertainment agency announced earlier today that they would be debuting a new girl group in the first half of 2015, and they are putting it to the fans to design the group’s logo.
According to the flyer, the contest begins on February 9 and runs through February 22, with the winning design being announced on February 25.
Design entries should be submitted here, so make sure you enter for your chance at bragging rights as well as the 3 million KRW (About $2,700 USD) cash prize.
I believe the contest is only open to those in Korea because in order to register on the page the contest is held, you need a Korean cell phone number. (If I find a way around it I’ll let you all know) However the contest does give more information about what April’s concept is because they ask for the key points of the logo to be: pure, cutie, spring, warm, life.
Even if you didn’t watch the show, if you’ve payed any attention to kpop then you’ve probably heard of Produce 101 and the resulting group I.O.I. Such a large scale show has resulted in a large amount of interest in upcoming trainees and the appearance of many new girl groups. Right now most attention is on I.O.I and groups like DIA and gugudan. Now, p101 fans are getting ready for the debut of the newest group resulting from p101 - the project group I.B.I!
What is I.B.I?
I.B.I was originally just a concept created by produce 101 fans for fun. The five members of IBI all came close to making it into IOI despite Mnets evil editing and lack of screentime. I.B.I stans for il ban in, basically meaning “ordinary person”.
In July, it was announced that I.B.I would become a reality, as a project group managed by Loen.
They will be releasing two digital singles and an M/V for the title track “Stealthily” on August 18th. They also will be having a showcase and will be appearing on SNL.
Although they haven’t been getting much attention from English speaking kpop fans, they have been getting a lot of attention from Korean fans. They have managed to gain over 10,000 fans on Melon and managed to be in the top 5 girl groups on Melon along with Black Pink, I.O.I, Gfriend and Twice. They’ve managed this before debuting. A popular webtoon artist is even releasing webtoons about the members.
I.B.I is a great opportunity for them all to get a chance to debut and develop a more solid standing in entertainment. As of now the only member confirmed to be debuting in an official group from their own company is Hyeri. Please support I.B.I so that one day they all can get their chance at success.
