Logo Design Contest

[Berkeley MUSA]

Hello,

If you've ever been in our office or checked out our flyers around Evans Hall, you've probably seen our... uhhhhh... funky logos. Here are a few photos of the various musty, archaic, bizarro logos you can see around Evans Hall.

  

The expressionless face with abstract objects bursting out of it still gives me nightmares... Anyway, I think it's obvious that we need a new, uniform symbol for our organization. That's why I'm happy to announce a design contest for our new logo!

To submit an entry, send an email to mu...@math.berkeley.edu with your submission. Submissions will be accepted until Friday, March 30th. Once the winner is revealed, the logo will be used on our website, flyers, emails, and even on the MUSA board on the ground floor. The winner will also receive a free MUSA hoodie or T-shirt. If you don't want free math attire for some reason, we can give you a Jane Street T-shirt or buy you a nice dinner or something reasonable.

Submission guidelines aren't strict; we mainly just want something to use as a symbol on the flyers and website. The style should preferably feel modern and slick. No dimension restrictions, but be reasonable (e.g. we won't accept something wacky that's 64x2048).

For inspiration, check out the logos for the Society of Physics Students, Statistics Undergraduate Student Association, Cognitive Science Student Association, and the Data Science Society. Anyone can submit a logo! Please spread the word, as I know many math majors usually have untapped artistic talent!

Best,

Ryan Shaw

Oops, looks like the in-line pictures might not load. I've attached them so you can get a good look at why we need a new logo.
