Competition: Design a New International Society for Precision Agriculture Logo
The officers of the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) have decided that it is time for an updated logo that is modern and represents ISPA as a society. Therefore, we are launching a competition among society members to design a new logo.
The current ISPA logo is illustrated above and has served as the logo since the inception of the society.
New logos should be simple, eye-catching, modern and one should be able to clearly see all elements of the new logo for an image size of 5 cm by 5 cm. Logos cannot include any images or similar elements for which you do not own the copyright.
Entries for the new logo competition should be sent to info@ispag.org by 30 January 2023. The ISPA board will then review and vote on the submitted designs and announce a winner in the March 2023 newsletter.
Prize – one free registration for ICPA 2024. If submissions are received from a group, the prize will be split equally between group members.
