SA-SGW 2025 Logo Competition

Dabble in design? Have a little artistic flair? Looking to get your creative juices flowing? Love space? Then the SA-SGW 2025 Logo Competition is for you!

What are we looking for?

Logo designs will be evaluated based on the following criteria: 

  • Relevance

    • The logo should make a reference to space – we are SGAC, after all!
    • The logo should be relevant to SGAC and in-line with what it stands for.
  • Scalability
    • The logo should be simple enough to be able to be scaled down or up and still look good.
  • Impact
    • The logo should capture the viewer’s attention and leave a positive, memorable impression.
  • Versatility

Feel free to come up with something unique and think outside the box! We want to see something fun, creative and representative of SA-SGW!
