BWF Logo Design Competition

[phaarix]

(Not sure if it's been posted but doesn't look like it)

Oh MAN I want to take part in that (I love to design :D)! But rules say you need to be 18 and I turn 18 in a few months :crying:. Maybe I'll just have to use one of my parent's names or something :p.

Looks like a lot of fun though, I think as many people as possible should give it a go (chance to win a trip to Sudirman Cup or WC07 + $5000 - very tempting)! Also good to see BWF seeing the importance in presenting themselves well, and giving the badminton community a chance to take part.

Lol, you just made me laugh in the middle of class. Worst yet, nobody understood what was going on.

[Quasimodo]

:eek:

What in the bleeding world are you doing browsing the 'net in the middle of a class in session? Throughout history many pupils have left classrooms with reddish-pink palm imprints on their left cheeks---right cheek if the teacher's a lefty---for far less serious transgressions.

:D

Ahh, but now where every student has a laptop with wireless connection throughout most of the campus, surfing the web is what you should be doing in class =P that and badminton >> listening to a lecture on coco the monkey and her relations to human nature/culture.

thank you very much for the interesting info.

Hope some BCers also take this challenge ;)

[taneepak]

There you have it from no less a person than Punch Gunalan, specifically saying that the objective of the name change to BWF is to unite the world of badminton. The original world wide body was called the IBF, which was torn apart by a rival world wide body called the World Badminton Federation (WBF), the latter spearheaded by China and jumpships from many giant Asian powers. They merged about 25 years ago, assumed the IBF name-temporarily, I suspect-and now it is time to assume a new name.

Lol, thanks for the bit of interesting badminton history. Everytime I look at WBF, i think of wrestling.

Me too. :p :p :p

[taneepak]

Lol, thanks for the bit of interesting badminton history. Everytime I look at WBF, i think of wrestling.

This is because the wrestling boys were better in marketing their sport. It could have been the other way-wrestlers being reminded of badminton whenever they see WBF.

WWF a sport???? :confused: :eek: :(

[phaarix]

/Twobeer

I watched that when I was about ten... I thought it was real :(.

[Stephan]

By the way: The new name is not WBF - but BWF, Badminton World Federation - the purpose is to have the word Badminton in the beginning of the new name and to copy it down to the member confederations. Badminton Asia, Badminton Europe, Badminton PanAm, Badminton Oceania, Badminton Africa. It will create a corporate look and increase its recognition in presenting Badminton world wide.

Cheers Stephan

[bdmnt0n]

Just wondering... it's been 2 weeks since the competition closed but still there is no update on their website (http://www.bwflogodesign.com/).

It would be nice to let everyone know whats going on considering the hype that was created.

enjoy!

Yeah I've been checking the site too... I wonder if they even decided on a winner? I hope they let us know soon!

[bdmnt0n]

Their site is updated :)

Seems the winner will soon be announced on the website.

[azabaz_ipoh]

really? i knew i did not win. nobody asked for the autoCAD version of my logo. it was too simple i think. he h ehe. wonder who won adn what the logo looks like.

[bdmnt0n]

we still have no idea who won or what happened!

it's been almost 2 months since "The winner will soon be announced on this website".

really wonder what's going on...

[GunBlade008]

I was going to try for this, but the site and application is so messy that I just gave up :P

[phaarix]

Yeah I wonder what's happening with this... Maybe those that did enter though could show their logos on this thread? I'm interested to ses what people came up with. I didn't enter as I was under the required age at the time :(.

[kwun]

Maybe those that did enter though could show their logos on this thread? I'm interested to ses what people came up with.
that's a good idea! since other participants must also have spend a considerable amount of time and energy into designing their entry into the competition, we also love to see what they came up with.

but i think this should happen after IBF reveals the winner.

[azabaz_ipoh]

cool. i will post my logos here after the announcement of the winner. i submitted 5 kinda similar logos with different color scheme for this competition. looking forward to seeing the others too. :D

[bdmnt0n]

GunBlade008: right on! but had too much time to kill.

will post mine up too. would be nice to see the others.

[phaarix]

Cool, I will be looking forward to it then :). I'm glad to see that a few people here gave it a go too!

[ctjcad]

...after more than 3 months of waiting?...esp. with about a month to go til the Sudirman Cup in Glasgow..And i believe their grand prize is a free round trip package to either the Sudirman Cup or W.C....hmmmm...:confused: :rolleyes: :p

[azabaz_ipoh]

yeah, i was wondering too. took them too long i have to say. a lot on their plate i think. he he he.

[bdmnt0n]

the pop-up window has been updated. we should take it that things are moving, albeit slowly.

cheers! :)

[ctjcad]

...i thought they'll never announce it...and they better hurry up cos the Sudirman Cup is coming up in abt a month(in case the winner wants to go there instead)...:p ;)

[phaarix]

What on EARTH is happening with this? It's reeeally close to the Sudirman Cup already. My guess is that either they decided none of them were good enough and are either going to stick with their current logo or hire a professional graphic designer, OR they're going to finally unveil it at the Sudirman Cup?

haha. must be done by an engineer. "if it works, don't fix it."

[ctjcad]

haha. must be done by an engineer. "if it works, don't fix it."
..imagine if that's actually the final design:eek:...all those troubles us badminton fans have to go through, sweating bullets, day & night to create the ultimate BWF logo design...:p:crying::(..

[ctjcad]

..i think it's finally official...I just visited the BWF website and looks like they will use the same logo as above, except they will use the wording "Badminton World Federation":eek::confused::rolleyes::p..Check out their official website:
http://www.internationalbadminton.org/
The link to the BWF Logo Competition is no longer there...So much for all our efforts..:p:(

[phaarix]

Man if it really is... how unexciting :(. I hope it's just temporary.

[azabaz_ipoh]

that's very inconsiderate of them. they made up a competition and then decides to not reward the participants. i feel like it was a contract gone sour. the effort we put in should be considered. maybe i should write to a newspaper and ask why they back out on their promise to pick a new logo and a winner. BWF sucks. :mad:

[kwun]

we can only speculate why.

perhaps:

1. winner has already been found. they just keeping it secret and they will reveal it during the Sudirman Cup. unfortunately, that probably means that the BC member who entered are not the winner.

2. they saw the entries and think that the old one looks nicer

3. they ran out of money to send the winner all the way to Scotland

4. they just simply got disorganized and forgotten about the whole thing.

[kwun]

i have to say though that the old/current logo looks very 80's.

[phaarix]

i have to say though that the old/current logo looks very 80's.

Heh yeah, do you know exactly how long it's been used for? It actually looks worse with the circle around it. I'm still hoping they're going to reveal the new logo (if there is one) at the Sudirman Cup.

[azabaz_ipoh]

i choose answer number 4, kwun. i believe it is highly unlikely that they will unveil the new logo at sudirman cup without making any hype about it. why not milk it if they are unveiling the new logo? so, i think we will not see a new logo anytime soon. maybe they are keeping mum and hoping everybody will forget about the competition. how long should we wait before we are confident that they will not choose a new logo? i am itching to see what other BC members' logo are like. but we should not risk it IF bwf are indeed going to choose a new logo. well i guess more waiting game for us then......:rolleyes:

[bdmnt0n]

this is really disappointing. their professionalism is appalling.

i also choose answer 4, but its more like they just simply got really disorganized and want everyone else to forget about it...

a friend who had also entered got not replies to emails sent about the delay to both bwf and total sports asia (the sports marketing company whose website also doesn't get updated too often, who also probably dreamed up this fantastic idea of an open competition for the new logo).

azabaz_ipoh: would be a good idea if you could get the press to investigate this further to get to the bottom of things. they should atleast have the marketing/pr ability to update the website to inform everyone whats happening.


so it turns out that in their attempt to re-brand and revitalize the world of badminton they managed to take the first step (the name change) but have failed miserably in their "2nd important step". it's a shame really cause they have already disappointed fans and this would tarnish their image, reputation and credibility in the long run.

my guess is that they arent planning to announce the new logo anytime in the near future and so changed the wording on the old logo to use that instead. hoping the public would forget about it, if they stalled it long enough.

[ctjcad]

how long should we wait before we are confident that they will not choose a new logo? i am itching to see what other BC members' logo are like. but we should not risk it IF bwf are indeed going to choose a new logo. well i guess more waiting game for us then......:rolleyes:

this is really disappointing. their professionalism is appalling.
..i think we should just go ahead with this, since there haven't been any words and/or announcement from BWF or their partners. The thing is, even if they're not satisfied with whatever images that have been given by us, at least they could've go out and make some brief statements about their decision; I'm sure we all can take it. But til now, no words, just mum....and bam, all of a sudden the "new logo" is there..:p:(
If they come to us and get upset beacuse we have shared our pics, well, we just turn around and ask them back the same question and put them on the spot..:p:cool:

[azabaz_ipoh]

yeah, but if they really want to pick a winner, than all the people here who shared their logo will be disqualified. i think i will go ahead and write to the local paper and see if there will be an investigation on this matter. hang tight mateys...

[ctjcad]

..do you plan to wait before revealing your proposed design(s)??:confused:;)..I don't know if anyone has a copy of their contest infos/details, in case..:p

[azabaz_ipoh]

i already wrote to a local newspaper this morning. we'll see if there's any news on that. they might simply ignore me. i hope they wouldn't though. this is after all an international federation and as such should act like it. cowering in a hole and hoping people will forget will never work. i did not keep any contest details. unfortunately. maybe others have it. :D

[kwun]

might as well wait 2 more weeks for the Sudirman Cup before revealing any designs...

[bdmnt0n]

the terms and condition are still on the website (i've copy pasted it below).

theres nothing in there that says we cant show each other the entries. just a clause saying that we cant USE the entries for any other purpose till they announce a winner.

azabaz_ipoh: thanks for writing to the press.

[darenong]

32569

[tjl_vanguard]

lets just wait and see.. i think they will reveal it during sudirman cup in glasgow since the winner will be der on a free trip.. :D

[ctjcad]

(iii) BWF and TSA reserves the rights to, at any time, vary, add or amend any part of this Competition (including the value of the Prize Money and discontinuing this Competition) or any part of these T&C.
(v) Participants acknowledge and agree that BWF and TSA reserve the absolute right to not declare a winner for the Competition if in their opinion none of the logo submissions meets with BWF and TSA expectations.

..i just re-read their rules and T & C and noticed these 2 points..So BWF and TSA :
1. Do have a right TO DISCONTINUE this competition and
2. Do have a right NOT TO DECLARE a winner ...
Understandable, however, in case they is no winner(s), then hopefully they can come out and make some sort of statement abt their decision, just so that we are aware..:p

please comment why u love and why u hate this logo .....
..darenong, that's a very interesting design/logo:cool:...However, if i recall correctly, one of the required theme is for us to show "Badminton Unites the World", thus a world/earth symbol should be there; not sure if i or anyone else see one..Hope you'll be fine with this early pic release..;)

[darenong]

hey ctjcad, thanks for the comment ... on the requirement of the theme abt "Badminton Unites the World" i did submit entries with earth in the centre but this one i represent the "UNITY" with 4-man-figure holding hands ... hehe .. originally there was an earth figure in the center ... but i tot the holding hands would do the trick .... ;)

[ctjcad]

..so, we would expect to see those other designs in the near future??..:confused:;)

[azabaz_ipoh]

yeah, it seems they did put a clause there to keep them out of trouble huh? BWF, i hope you dont back out. we do need a new logo. something to mark our journey into the new era of badminton. something moderne. he he h eh. if there's no announcement in glasgow, that still does not mean that the winner will never be picked since they can choose what prize they offer the winner. it could be they want to announce it during the world championship. if so, then we will have a long wait till august before we should even consider putting up our logo here. i hope it will not be that long.....

[phaarix]

I think it's a good design in that it's easily understandable (it was to me anyway) and you can definitely see the unity there. However I think there's just a little too much going on with all the shuttlecocks and racquets. I think it would have done better to have a much smaller number of those, and perhaps have them larger and more obvious (although I admit it wouldn't be too easy) :p?

But apart from that it's nice, and it's definitely something I would never have thought of :)!

[ctjcad]

...they've announced the winner..and that person is..(drum roll please)..Aboeb Luthfy from Indonesia(hmmm, wonder if he/she is a BC member??):
http://www.internationalbadminton.org/newscontent.asp?pageid={AD34FA67-C1F5-4208-A448-04CE40631463}
Congrats again and can't wait to see the new logo design soon!!!:cool:...and we all thought the new logo will be the one that's on the BWF website...:p:D
Now, i guess we all can reveal all of our designs...:p:D:cool:

[azabaz_ipoh]

cool. i can't wait to see the new logo too. yeah, i guess now we can share our logo. he he he he. :D are they unveiling the new logo at the sudirman cup?

[darenong]

congrats to Aboeb Luthfy !!!!! *envy* 5k and trip to glasgow ..... i do think my design is good enuff thou ... hahaha ... well here's 2 of my design yet again .... pls comment ... i wasnt an art/design student .. so it's just plain ..

32599

cant wait to see Aboeb Luthfy's design ... i wonder if he is indonesian :rolleyes: lol

pls comment if u need to .....

[Slicedbanana07]

I think your second design is quite nice. But why does it have to be red?

[darenong]

I think your second design is quite nice. But why does it have to be red?

thanks for the comment ... i think red is easier to bring out the concept of the design ... and its not consider a highly bright color ... i did not consider of other color aniways haha

[bdmnt0n]

finally they announced it - congrats to Aboeb Luthfy! look forward to seeing his logo and the rest of the logos proposed by the people here.

(they did state that red was the prefered colour)

here are the ones i did, comments are welcome:

[ctjcad]

..originally, according to the contest rules, the winner is supposed to be introduced in M'sia, but i guess he will travel to both the Sudirman Cup for the introduction; and, if he chooses, he'll travel to M'sia for the WC...Glad for him & hope if i can go to the WC, hope i can meet him as well:cool:!!
I read there were like 1600 entries!!:eek:..that's quite a lot..:p

here are the ones i did, comments are welcome
..very creative, i like the first 3 designs, but i guess only the 2nd & 3rd ones had some kind of 'world' symbol..;):cool:

congrats to Aboeb Luthfy !!!!! *envy* 5k and trip to glasgow ..... i do think my design is good enuff thou ... hahaha ... well here's 2 of my design yet again .... pls comment ... i wasnt an art/design student .. so it's just plain
..darenong, i too like your designs:cool:..It's a bit tough to pick up the racket, as i think a shuttlecock shape would definitely identify the logo, but their interesting..The first 2, they remind me a bit of the shape of a football(American);):)

[darenong]

..i had submitted my own designs and the judges even took a quick peek at them, i'd be glad:p..There were 1600 entries and it took them abt 4 months to decide the winner; imagine if there were more entries..:eek::rolleyes::p;)

[darenong]

1600 entries ... does that meant 320 entrant or 1600 designs .... hmmmm if its 1600 entrants .. that would mean to browse through somewhat 8000 designs !!!! haha now it makes me wonder if my design were looked at at all !!!

[azabaz_ipoh]

here's mine. not that good but i am proud of the effort. glad i participate anyways.

these are the ones i submitted. same design just different colors:

32700

finally they announced it - congrats to Aboeb Luthfy! look forward to seeing his logo and the rest of the logos proposed by the people here.

(they did state that red was the prefered colour)

here are the ones i did, comments are welcome:

I think these are brilliant! A lot better than I would have done :p. Everyone elses are nice too, it's great seeing everyone's different ideas. It's amazing what you can do with a shuttlecock :).

[xt6666]

Am I blind or why can't I see the new logo on the BWF homepage?!?

Sudirman Cup started today, but where is the new logo?!?

[phaarix]

I'll say, I wish they would get on with it... They've left it long enough already.

[azabaz_ipoh]

i think they are waiting for the finals of sudirman cup and when they crown the champion, maybe then they will show off the new logo.

on another matter, i am surprised to see very few logo from our BC members. i thought there will be more to see. :D

I promise to post my logo in a week, now I'm too far away from my home copmuter... :)

Here is the new logo:

[darenong]

nice logo ... a very BWF-standard logo ... i guess ...

[phaarix]

Whoa seriously? It's a bit similar to the old one don't you think? Not very adventurous of them... I preferred bdmnt0n's first logo personally :). It's clever and looks really nice! The new official logo is just a slight rearrangement of the old logo really...

Edit: I mean it's nice and all don't get me wrong but a bit too samey that's all :p...

[kwun]

i think it is quite nice. does not look very 21st century web2.0 style, but at least it is not 70's like the old one.

[Resenmac@mac.co]

i agree. looks like the old one. too bad for them. they missed a chance to do something special.

hmm, maybe they chose it from a couple or so similar designs using the "Eenie meenie, minee moe, how many numbers do you want?" method...and voila, this design came out to be the winner...:p
It's nice, but i would somewhat agree w/phaarix's sentiment...I was thinking of a similar design, but i thought i've seen something similar before(I thought one of the rule was that the design must be original):confused:..
Yeah, the overall concept looks the same as the previous one(location of the wording of Badminton World Federation, the colors used, symbol of stylized earth). Perhaps the judges didn't want to get too much away from the previous design. Except this time, it looks like the shuttle has flown thru and the letters BWF are added & inscribed in large fonts....
One thing to ponder, if they are to make another logo design contest, i wonder how the logo might look like??..
Anyways, we should get accustomed to it, as with other "new" things..Congrats again to the winner!!;):cool:

[darenong]

will this logo look good in icon mode ? on the shirt ? on tshirt ? on the paper ? im sure it will .... but if we were the voters .. this one wouldnt come out as winner .... well at least not my pick as no 1 .. hehe no offence

[bdmnt0n]

i think the concept is pretty good but it could have been done in a less clip-arty style to look more distinctive. but yes, its their choice!

[Gollum]

It's an extremely conservative choice. I don't think it's much improvement on the old logo.

[hcyong]

Here is the new logo:

Creeps me out. The first thing I read on this page was "Die Badminton World Federation".

LOL true... Some people must really dislike the new logo :p.

[Resenmac@mac.co]

This was a very closed competition with no semifinalists or finalists announced. No way for those who entered to follow the judging process. It also took a very long time for the decision to be made which makes me wonder what could have been going on behind the scenes. And I wonder why any designer would want to mimic the old logo (how could this happen in a worldwide competition). Could there have been a possible redesign once the entries were in, taking the best ideas from the batch. We don't know - we were in the dark for months. I urge those of you who are unhappy with the logo (as fans and designers) to voice your displeasure of the logo and the awful handling of this competition to the BWF. You worked hard - and you owe yourself that.

[Dmitry]

As I promised, I present my variants of the logo. Though they are also similar to the old one, but look more scalable than the new one...:)

Though, I did it just for fun, don't mind.:)

[Joanne]

Hmm.. honestly speaking...

I like it. :D It looks simple, slightly cartoonish(my kind of style :p) and nice(yes, kinda vague, but for the lack of a better word..)!

Although the guidelines shouldn't have restricted the colours to red.. A multicoloured logo on a nice design will leave a deeper impact.

The colour red.. must be some chinese fellow who believes that red=prosperity. :p

My opinion, of course. I see nearly everyone here disliking it. Hey, I'm not much of an artist, so I just like it.

I have send in these two designs for the BWF logo competition.

The first design is using the similar idea of Olympics five rings to represent the five continents. The "W" represent shuttlecock and ties the five rings together and gives the sense of unity.

The second design, I play around with the initial BWF. The "B" represent the love of badminton because it looks like the heart shape and "WF" make up the shuttlecock. The three initials unites together and become the chop of BWF.

I have to say it is very hard to design the logo because of the theme BWF had set: "Badminton unties the World".

[azabaz_ipoh]

i found this on logo design. interesting i have to say :

This is my first experience to down load the drawings. I have trouble to use yahoo URL. Now I have joined the "photobucket" and hopes this time will work.

[darenong]

wow creativity doesnt run out does it ..... very nice n creative designs

[azabaz_ipoh]

yeah, there are designs here that i prefer over the one they chose to be the official logo. very creative you guys!

[demolidor]

Here's one I like that I just came across:

http://i14.tinypic.com/6g0swnd.gif

I'm sure there's more existing logo's that look better than BWF's one and could've been an inspiration. The winning one is not bad but could've used something more.
