Creating an arts legacy

Calling young designers - create a special image for the London 2012 education programme

Young artistsLondon 2012 has launched a national competition for 16-21 year olds in full or part-time education to create a new design to infill the London 2012 Olympic logo. This is an unrivalled opportunity for those considering a career in design and the logo will be seen by young people and their communities right across the UK!

The competition to design what will become the second in-filled logo after the Union logo created to celebrate the handover from the Beijing Games, delivers the promise to directly involve the public in London 2012 brand work.

Young designers are invited to create a new infill that reflects the ambitions and excitement of ‘Get Set’ and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. London 2012 is looking for a distinctive concept that fits with its brand and its strategy of participation.  

The closing date for entries is 5 June after which 4 - 6 finalists will present their idea to a panel of judges including BMX world champion and ‘Get Set’ hero, Olympian Shanaze Reade. The winner will work closely with LOCOG to develop a final version of the logo which will be used in both print and digital media.

Potential entrants can watch a short film of the briefing, and obtain the competition rules and guidelines, at www.london2012.com/logocompetition.

The winning logo will be revealed in September when the first schools and colleges to join the ‘Get Set’ network are announced.

From September the new infill design of the logo will be used by all schools successfully in the Get Set network. Those schools will receive the London 2012 education logo for use on their headed paper, website and school sign, as well as a plaque and certificate marking their achievements. Members of the network will also receive access to exclusive competitions and Games related opportunities over the next three and half years.
