IMechE Hong Kong Branch Banner Design Competition |
|||
| Aim & Objectives | In 2007, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) has adopted a new vision: "Improving the world through engineering"
In order to promote engineering and raise awareness of the institution, we have to appeal to both the internal (such as engineering community and universities) and external audiences (such as general public). However, research has indicated that our current brand has several problems - the original horse logo is old-fashioned; and the acronym ‘IMechE’ is not well understood. As a consequence, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers is developing a new identity to update the institution’s look and how it communicates to both the internal and external audiences. In order to align with the new visual system of IMechE, the Banner Design Competition is launched by the IMechE HK Branch to allow the local members to explore their creativity for a new banner design for the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (Hong Kong Branch) to reflect the local favour and the Branch identity. |
||
| Who is eligible to participate: | The competition is for all IMechE non-corporate and corporate members. Not yet a member of IMechE? Please visit the website for membership information and application procedures: www.imeche.org/membership/ |

| The Competition: | All banner designs will be subjected to initial screening by a Panel composing of Past Branch Chairmen to select the top three designs based on marking scheme. These designs will be voted electronically by all local members. The winning design would be produced and displayed at the Branch AGM and Annual Dinner and for future branch events. All winners will be invited to attend the Branch Annual Dinner on 14th May 2010 to receive the prize. |
