Competition Brief
As you know, 15 April each year is celebrated as the Designers’ Day; i.e. a day to celebrate and honor designers worldwide, a day to organize events to create awareness for design as a profession. The Designers’ day is a part of World Design Days that is between 12-15 April. The first World Design Days were celebrated years ago and for this particular occasion four logos were made to symbolize the each particular day, including the Designers’ Day. The Designers’ Day logo was made in rush, and we believe that a new logo is required to reflect the importance of this day. As a great designer, we wish you to re-design the designers’ day logo.

Should be printable B&W and it should work with both black and white background. But most importantly, the Designers’ Day logo must follow the following emotional requirements: 1. It should make designers’ proud. 2. It should have a great aesthetic appeal that represents the very best of design profession. 3.
