The Malaysian Australian Alumni Council Logo Design Competition

After 15 years of success, The Malaysian Australian Alumni Council (The MAAC) believes that it is time to have a new look and feel as the national organisation for Malaysian alumni associations of Australian universities and other institutions of higher learning. We are looking for new visual identity!

Thus, we are now asking you, as an alumnus of an Australian University, to help design a new creative, innovative and professional logo for The MAAC. The new logo should be recognisable to help promote The MAAC’s mission, that is, “to be a prestigious, influential and respectable national organisation of Malaysia alumni associations of Australian universities and institutions of higher learning.” Be creative and be bold! Please read below for more details regarding the logo design, contest rules & submission requirements.

How to Enter the Contest

The contest starts on 22nd September 2014. Submissions will be accepted through to 15th November 2014. Winners will be announced via our website, social media platforms and by direct contact to the winner’s email account. All entries must be:

  1. Submitted directly to judge@emaac.org

  3. Submitted as a high resolution pdf with 300 dpi or higher.

Logo Requirements

Professional: The winning logo will be featured on our website, social media platforms and other mediums (stationaries, pamphlets, t-shirts etc). As a result, while we want the logo to be eye-catching, it must still be legible.
Theme: The logo must promote the mission of The MAAC, “to be a prestigious, influential and respectable national organisation of Malaysia alumni associations of Australian universities and institutions of higher learning.” Design should be universal in theme, and not nation/ political specific.
Color: There are no limitations and any colours may be used. However, logo must look good regardless whether it’s in colour or in black & white.
Integrity: The logo cannot contain copyrighted materials and must have been created and edited by the contestant(s). It may not include images or licensed images that have been previously published and must be easily reproducible and scalable for large and small formatting.
