College of West Anglia students design new
Discover West Norfolk logo
|
Luis Ribiero and Sinead Bird |
Following its change of name in 2008, Discover
West Norfolk has teamed up with the College of West Anglia to
produce a brand new logo for 2009.
DWN contacted Chris Skinner, tutor on the Graphic
Design course at the College, who agreed to ask his first year
students to spend some time over the summer designing a logo.
Rosie Kitchen and Phil Davies drew up a brief for the students,
which they presented to the class in June.
In September, Rosie and Phil were invited back to
the College to view the finished logos. Thirteen potential
versions were on display, and Phil and Rosie were extremely
impressed by the high standard of the designs the students had
produced during their summer break. ‘We will have a difficult
time choosing a winner as there are so many excellent designs –
the students have done a terrific job’, said Phil.
Eventually, after further discussions with the
chairman and the students, a shortlist of four designs was
chosen and circulated for consultation round the membership.
The final winner was overwhelmingly supported by
the membership, and in November Phil and Rosie returned to the
College to present cheques to the designer of the winning logo,
Sinead Bird, and the composer of the wording used, Luis Ribiero.
If any member is interested in learning more about these
students’ work, please contact Chris Skinner at the College of

The new logo will soon be appearing on the DWN
website and stationery. Display material will be produced for
use at the Trade Exhibition in March 2009, and a press launch of
the new logo is planned to take place at the College in the New
Year.
DWN would like to take this opportunity to thank
Chris Skinner and all his students for their hard work, and wish
the students all the best in the future.
