6 February 2007 - FITA New Logo Contest

FITA INTERNATIONAL ARCHERY FEDERATION NEW LOGO CONTEST     The aim is to create a new logo to be used for the Archery World Cup. The International Archery Federation (FITA) started the Archery World Cup as a new project in 2006.   The new logo is intended to show Archery, which is an Olympic sport, not only as a traditional sport, but also one with a new, modern and dynamic character.   In addition, the new design should express and incorporate: the contemporary elements of graphic design, the concept of archery as a match play sport, the precision and elegance of archery, any or all symbolic elements of archery, i.e., bow, arrow, archer, target.   Usage for the Archery World Cup logo will be extensive and should be considered in the design concept. Please consider all media applications. Here are a few examples: Print ­— letterhead, fax, magazines, brochures, booklets, books, programs Promo pieces — banners, posters, pins, other advertising specialties Clothing — hats, visors, t-shirts, polo shirts, bags, towels Big Screen TV — field of play at archery tournaments Internet and electronic media — website, web TV, e-mail   In the future, the new logo will not only be used for the Archery World Cup, it will be considered for FITA branding at all levels.   It will be helpful for applicants to know more about archery. You can find further information concerning FITA, archery and the Archery World Cup at the FITA website: www.archery.org.   Conditions of Participation: a.      The contest is open to graphic arts students and academicians, except jury members.
