BOA Shortlists Five Designs In Logo Contest
The Bermuda Olympic Association [BOA] has shortlisted five logo designs in its Team Bermuda logo competition, with the winning designer to receive a $1,000 travel voucher.
A spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Olympic Association [BOA] has shortlisted five logo designs from among 82 submitted in its Team Bermuda logo competition. The five designs selected will be put to a public vote, with the design collecting the most votes to be selected as the new Team Bermuda mark.
“The Team Bermuda logo is to be used as a commercial logo to complement the official National Olympic Committee emblem. It will be used on BOA sponsorship materials, and on athletes’ non-competition and non-ceremonial kit at major international sports festivals.”
“On January 14, the BOA invited submissions from Bermudian graphic designers, both professionals and students, based locally and overseas. A total of 82 designs were received from 39 designers by the January 29 deadline.
“The five shortlisted designs will be put to a public vote from February 8 to 21. The logos, along with background information about each design, will be placed on teambermudalogo.com and displayed at the Bermuda National Gallery in Hamilton.
“The public will be able to vote for their favourite Team Bermuda logo online or in person at BNG. To help ensure objectivity in the vote, the names of the designers of each logo will be kept secret until after the winner is revealed.”
Brenda Dale, BOA Vice President, said, “We were overjoyed with the large number and high quality of submissions we received for the logo competition. It’s clear that the many talented Bermudian designers who participated put a lot of thought, creativity and effort into their entries, and it was a challenging task to whittle the selection down to five choices.
“That said, I think we have five very strong, very different options that our athletes would be proud to wear, and our sponsors would be proud to display. We’re looking forward to finding out what the public thinks.”
The spokesperson said, “The designer whose logo receives the largest number of votes will be declared the winner of the competition, and will receive a $1,000 travel voucher from the BOA.”
That first one is so unique and beautiful. They all look great, but that one looks most Bermudian
I prefer the first one.
Yup.
There is a longtail logo on facebook thqt should have been shortlisted. Looks very well done, professional look to it.
My sentiments exactly….
I like the 4th one although i think that Bermuda should be a little larger.
I longtail one by far
Loving the Longtail, but great job by all
Another Longtail design was not short listed but I have seen it on facebook. It definitely should have been.
There is a Longtail logo on Facebook that should have been shortlisted imo. It is very well done and shows off our National Bird and pride in our team.
