The Urban Tree Festival is a vibrant community event and an annual celebration of trees in the city. The Festival is now in its third year, attracting over 900 visitors, and is now a firm favourite in the London calendar for May.
If you wish to enter please read the brief guidelines below before making your submission.
The Brief
The Urban Tree Festival changes its logo every year and the new logo is chosen by competition.
The logo needs to work across various media and formats, including print and digital. It should be recognisable in a very small size (an Instagram icon for instance), but also work well on a tote bag, T-shirt or large outdoor banner.
The logo should include a graphical image or marque, as well as typography. The graphic must be able to be used with or without the typographic element. The logo should be adaptable for varying formats, including a circle, a square, a landscape rectangle and a portrait rectangle.
You will need to think about how the logo can be adapted to these different formats, while using a clear graphic image that works across all media.
