    • Hey there, I also would like to know how important that 'coming soon' is mentioned on the postcard, and is it possible to edit the arts council England logo to change it to white text instead of black, as my background is dark. Thanks

      • Hi Christopher

        You can make as many submissions as you like. It is quite important to mention that the festival is coming soon, as that is the reason for the postcard, so that people can save the date. Yes you can edit the arts council logo to white, for this task.

        Thanks, Seb (FORMAT Team)

  • Hi I can't download the logos because I have an older version of Illustrator.
