LOGO DESIGN
COMPETITION

for
Raja Metal Industries

Competition Brief

A logo is a powerful asset for any business and acts as a symbol that customers use to recognize and connect with a brand. It is the face — the very first impression of a brand. Creating an effective visual representation requires much more than just graphic design. We can perceive how logos evolved throughout history by looking at its roots. Despite its deep roots and extensive chronology, so much remains open to interpretation—and it continues to unfold before our eyes. Our ability to represent ourselves and things that matter to us symbolically will generate countless innovative iterations of our fascinating thoughts. 

In this competition, we are seeking a design for a logo of Raja Metal Industries. The logo must be unique, able to attract attention, resilient against the winds of fad and fashion, and represent the company to the public. Design can also be exclusive, dynamic, timeless, modern, luxurious, minimal, flexible, and easy to remember but must not contradict the company’s ideology, Values, Vision, and mission.
