We weren't able to find any information about the winners of this contest. This may also mean that the organiser hasn't published any information about winners yet.
The John Smith Memorial Trust is pleased to invite talented designers to submit their ideas for a new logo comprising of two components: an image and a strap-line. The winning design will be reproduced on a range of materials including their website, e-newsletter, banners, invitations and Trust merchandise and will form the basis for their new brand identity.
This is a fantastic opportunity for both new and established designers to lead the shaping of a new brand identity for a UK registered charity working internationally to promote good governance and social justice.
Objective
Design a contemporary, recognisable and meaningful image and strapline that reflects our work and strengthens our identity.
John Smith Memorial Trust wants a strong logo that represents its mission and strengthens its identity with stakeholders and supporters.
The image and strapline should be components that can be used both together and separately. We need to be flexible and therefore it is essential that these two individual elements can be used effectively on their own and in conjunction with one another.
Prizes
A monetary prize of £500 will be awarded to the winning applicant.
