Competition time

This is an interesting brief. It's very current - but very difficult. When I was a student there weekly high profile competitions for HIV and Aids awareness campaigns, all the winners were dire, cliche driven bores ( sad faces, hearts, tears, rainbows countless derivations of red ribbons etc ) - sometimes it's easier to look at things from the outside ( remember the talk I gave you with very 'wrong' logo solutions by design agencies that specilise in church work? )

"Enter our competition to design a logo for our campaign to tackle homophobia and transphobia in sport.

We are asking budding designers to create an emblem for the Sports charter campaign that helps spread the message that hate of any kind in sport is not acceptable. Sports clubs, fans and players across the country will then use this logo to show they back the campaign.

The competition is targeted at young people but is open to anyone with creative flair.

The competition closes on Wednesday 18 January 2012 at 5pm. Rugby Union star, Ben Cohen will shortlist the top entries, which will then be put on our Facebook page for a public vote."
