Logo redesign contest

This year the Alberta River Surfing Association (Alberta RSA) is asking you to redesign its logo to represent our community and show us just what river surfing and the Alberta RSA means to you! The logo redesign is being done to engage our community and to have a better logo to advance surfing in Alberta. The logo will become the brand and face of the Alberta RSA and what it stands for. It will be used on all Alberta RSA communications with community, government, grantors, public, on the website, on signage, and on merch!

Contest overview

The contest is very simple:

  • Design a logo for the Alberta RSA on any medium you feel confident in such as a simple sketch or use of apps, whatever works for you. Submit your art to info@AlbertaRiverSurfing.com.

  • Share your submission with friends and family and engage your fellow surfers to vote or submit their own designs.

  • Submissions will be accepted until March 22. Voting will continue for 1 extra week.

  • A panel of judges will then debate the entries and a winner will be selected! Make sure you “Like” your favourite submissions. The panel will be looking at what our community responds best to in their decision making.

Why participate?

To support the river surfing community and win free swag, of course!

Everyone that submits a logo(s) will also receive a free sticker of the finalized logo!

The winner of the contest will receive swag that will be announced during the contest.

If you choose not to submit a logo for any reason, why not show support and encouragement by sharing what ARSA and River Surfing means to you? Maybe it will help inspire a new design!

Tips on logo design

Never made a logo before? No Problem! Here are some tips for successful logo design:

  • The First rule of logo design is keep it simple.

  • The second rule of logo design is … KEEP IT SIMPLE! :) But seriously, keep it simple - less is more.

  • Be original. It never hurts to check out “the competition” and see what they did right and what they did wrong but your design must be your own.

  • Design it in black and white first. A good logo will work in 1 color as it provides more options and flexibility in print and design.

  • Keep it family friendly. This logo will represent our community. Make it something you’d be proud to share with your family, friends and newcomers!

  • You don’t need to be a professional, you just need to be passionate about River Surfing!

  • Everyone is invited to submit as many designs as they’d like!
