NQLC Logo Redesign Competition
Are you a talented artist and also an NQLC Member?
We are excited to share that the NQLC Board has endorsed a brand refresh and has instructed the CEO to initiate a competition for the redesign of our logo. The NQLC Logo Design Competition provides members of the North Queensland Land Council (NQLC) with a platform to showcase their creative talents and design skills. This competition is an opportunity to craft a new logo that captures the essence of our organisation, reflects our core activities, and represents our regional footprint. Additionally, elements from the winning designs will be incorporated into our uniforms and website as part of the brand refresh.
Competition Guidelines:
Eligibility:
The competition is open to all current NQLC members, including individuals and groups. Not a member? Click here to join.
Theme:
The logo design should reflect the following aspects:
- WHO WE ARE: Embody the vision and values of the NQLC, representing our commitment to the preservation, protection and promotion of the recognition of native title.
- WHAT WE DO: Symbolise our core activities of the NQLC, such as native title claims, future acts, agreement negotiations and economic development.
- WHO WE REPRESENT: Align with the rich cultural diversity evident in our Indigenous communities within NQLC’s region. Our region extends from the Daintree to 4km northwest of the Bloomfield Rivers in the east; to just south-east of Ilbilbie and just west of Haydon; and east to include the waters that are within the Exclusive Economic Zone of Australia. It is a region that encompasses the rich culture of Freshwater People, Saltwater People and Rainforest People.

- The logo should be original, visually appealing, and easily recognisable.
- Colours: It is recommended (but not limited) to use a maximum of four colors.
- Formats: Submit the logo design in a high-resolution digital format (e.g., PNG, JPEG, or vector file) or painted submissions are also accepted (for painted submissions ensure the longest edge does not exceed 30cm).
SUBMISSION PROCESS
