Q Group Logo

Enter the Logo Competition

Dear Q Group Member

Your Committee recently considered the Group's logo and decided there was a need to update this important group symbol.

In order to ensure that all members had a chance to contribute and to ensure the best outcome it was decided to hold a design competition to find a replacement for the current logo.

Design Criteria

The winning logo will:

• Be visually suggestive of some key aspect of the Q Group's interest, ie, it could incorporate a large Q into an efficient frontier like this

• Be readily scalable from a small size suitable for the side of a pen barrel to a large size suitable for a T-shirt and even to a giant size suitable for a conference backdrop.
• Come in both a grey-scale (or black and white) version suitable for letterheads, photocopied notices etc, and a colour version(s) suitable for a web site, mouse pad, T-shirt, etc.
• Be capable of being readily transformed into a variety of digital formats for these different uses, ie, EPS for letterheads, GIF for web site etc.
• Not violate any copyright or trademark laws. (In particular, do not copy the US Q Group's logo.)

Rules

• The competition is open to all Q Group members and their affiliates (family, friends and colleagues).
• Entries are to be submitted by post to:

  
  Logo Competition

(If there are less than three remaining eligible Committee members, the committee will have the power to co-opt other Q Group members to form a judging panel).
• The designer of the winning entry will receive a cheque for $250 and honourable mention on the Q Group's web site (on an About our Logo page).
• No correspondence will be entered into. The Committee's decision is final.
• All entries will become and remain the property of The Institute for Quantitative Research in Finance, Incorporated.
