Future Proof Bishops Waltham has now been running for over a year and we decided that it was time to enlist the support of the local community to help design a new logo for us to use.

We wanted to have an image that more accurately reflected our purpose of improving the sustainability of our community and one that could be used on our website, posters etc.  As we are a community based group, we wanted to enlist the help of local people in developing the logo and so decided to run a logo design competition.

Any competition needs a prize, so as well as seeing the winning logo used on our website, the winner as voted for by the Future Proof committee will be receiving a very funky solar powered led desk lamp.

The Ikea Sunnan LED Work Light charges during the day and will provide around 3 hours of light.  UNICEF also receives one SUNNAN solar-powered lamp for every SUNNAN sold in IKEA stores worldwide. This will enable children in homes without electricity to do their homework even after dusk.  We thought this would be quite a suitable prize for our competition.

Swanmore College of Technology kindly agreed to support this initiative and we have just received 11 entries from students there.  You can

view all the entries by Clicking Here.  We were very impressed with all the entries and appreciate all the effort and thought that went into them.

It was very difficult making a decision but after much deliberation, we have decided to award the entry by Miriam 1st prize.  You can see her on the right.

This image we felt would work very weel as our logo as it captured the symbolism of people doing their bit to support the environment but it will also scale well as both a logo for our website and for any posters and leaflets we produce.

This entry will now be developed further so that it can be used in a digital format and Miriam will be receiving her prize of the Sunnan Solar Powered Light very soon.

Thank you again to everyone who took part in this competition and thank you also to the teachers at Swanmore College of Technology for supporting us.
