Design an Edsby graphical meme. Something that expresses your affection—or maybe other more nuanced relationship?—with Edsby. Post it to Instagram or Twitter by May 18th, 2018 with the hashtag #edsby. The most popular design(s) wins! But act fast: deadline is end-of-day May 18th.

Are you as much an Edsby fan as these gals?

Download an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) scalable vector version of the Edsby logo as a starting point. Or any other Edsby images you find on the Internet. Change or recolor as you see fit. Add stuff. Use memegenerator.net. Or not. The sky’s the limit, within common decency. See below. Remember: A meme is anything that gets passed around because it’s cool. It doesn’t have to mean a still with white, blocky overlayed text. Get creative. Think of something that could translate well onto T-shirts and merchandise. Animation = not so good. Your work can be shared anywhere you like, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Reddit. But it’s only going to be seen for this contest if it gets posted to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #edsby.

So… just who is this Edsby, anyway?

Gender-ambiguous. Intergalactic. Interspecies. The cheeky young time-travelling progeny of an Andorian and a colorful industrial metalworker, Edsby had a famous paternal grandfather and grandmother. The identities of his/her maternal grandparents have been lost to intergalactic lore. A distant cousin is in telecom. Another is in entertainment. Edsby is here to help our planet improve its teaching effectiveness. A favorite pastime is travel.
