Go logo competition

The British Go Association, BGA, is running a competition for a new logo.
Surely some forum people would like to pitch an idea!

Some inspiration maybe?

What is wrong with this one?
Inho it is okay.
Maybe the font of the text BRITISH ASSOCIATION is a bit stiff and could be replaced by a bit more playful font. And not all in capitals. For the rest keep it as it is.

Edit: here is some more inspiration.

I think

  1. the washed out hue of “Go” makes it look faded,
  2. the whitespace is rather glaringly unbalanced
  3. the font used for “British Association” is way too standard (cf the font used for “Go”, which is unique and beautiful)

It seems that you answered your own question by noting some changes that you believe would improve it. Maybe you should create and submit your proposal.

Yeah, maybe I should do that.

A logo is kinda like a flag, so maybe it shouldn’t have text at all…

looks at OGS logo

Errr… ummm… carry on

They could modernise it a bit and achieve their other stated goals as well.
They could keep the “GO” as it is, put the Union Jack inside the O, curl the “British association” around the “GO” to make it all round and spiffy and easy to use to all those other mediums they like and “problem solved” :slight_smile:

I am not good at this stuff, so maybe something like that:

There’s just something charming about a double T

Is it the glottal stop realization in some Bri’ish dialects?

I think a logo is more akin to a seal, which can have text. I agree flags are not seals and should not have text, though

Maybe this might be useful for a Go association made by someone named Britt? :sweat_smile:

One t is enough.

I think that the new logo could incorporate some round images that resemble stones, but also capture the spirit of British.

So just a world map with circular union jacks over every scrap of land? :sweat_smile:
