SUKA logo design competition

The Singapore UK Association (SUKA) Executive Committee invites you to be part of their evolutionary history. We are looking for creative talents to Re-design, Re-brand or Re-interpret the SUKA logo and brand identity. The new look and feel should reflect both SUKA values and philosophy; which are to promote social interaction and communal relationships within the Singaporean community and to celebrate Singapore's utterly unique multi-cultural identity in the UK. This competition is open to all members of Singaporean Societies in the UK.

This re-branding will help to reposition SUKA as the foremost non-political and not-for-profit association for Singaporeans living in the United Kingdom and also as a launch-pad for SUKA into a new age, making it more relevant to all our members.

All participants will be invited to the launch party of the new SUKA logo and brand identity on the 24th of April 2009. The new brand identity will be officially unveiled to approximately 11,000 people at Singapore Day on April 25th 2009.

The closing date for entries is 15 March 2009.
