Logo Design
The Pacific Geospatial Conference Organising Committee is pleased to announce a call for logo designs. We need your help to build a strong recognisable logo for the conference across the region.
We put together this Design Brief (borrowing from the SOTM) that outlines what we are looking for in a logo. Entrants could be an individual or team of people, even a design company.
By submitting a logo you will be assigning your copyright to OSGeo Oceania so that it can be used across different mediums. The organising committee may also commission improvements of the winning work. Entries need to appear on the wiki page Pacific Geospatial Conference 2022/Logo Entries by Sunday 15 July 2022. The community will vote to decide which logo wins.
2021 Logo
2020 Logo
2019 Logo
2018 Logo
There are several more examples on the global FOSS4G website.
How to enter
- Create your logo in PNG file format and a scalable file format (either SVG or PDF).
- If you're not used to scalable formats please still enter the competition as we can try to help.
- Make your logo available online, one option is to upload it to the OSGeo Wiki (upload link) or submit your entry to admin@osgeo-oceania.org.
- Add a link, or include your logo on the wiki page Pacific Geospatial Conference/Logo Entries (if you enter via email, we'll do this for you).

- A sense of learning and education

- Openness
- Intelligence
- Trustworthiness
