Call for logo design entries commemorating the 30th anniversary of Keio University SFC

The Faculty of Policy Management and Faculty of Environment and Information Studies at SFC celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2020. To mark this occasion, we are accepting entries for a logo design anticipating the next 30 years.

Purpose

We are eliciting candidate logo designs for the 30th anniversary of the establishment of SFC. The selected logo will be used in a variety of contexts, including 30th anniversary events, on the SFC official website, in public relations tools, and on commemorative goods, business cards, envelopes, and templates for presentations at academic conferences. We hope to receive proposals from current students, graduates, and faculty and staff members for a logo with a unique concept, and a slightly different feel to the regular SFC logo. The logo will then be put to use for ongoing branding and public relations activities of SFC. Looking ahead to the next 30 years, we plan to deploy this logo over a number of years from the 2021 academic year onwards.
