Design Contest for new Colorado State University-Pueblo wolf
identity
Pueblo, Colo. -- Building community and statewide involvement in the
transformation of the University of Southern Colorado to Colorado State
University- Pueblo is at the heart of a new design contest that runs through the
month of October. The university will award a $500 cash prize or $1,000
scholarship to the one winning entry in a graphic identity contest for a new
Thunderwolf logo.
The contest was announced today as part of the Thunderwolf Golf Classic held at
the Pueblo Country Club Golf Course. The new graphic identity will replace the
current wolf image that includes the letters U-S-C (see attached guidelines).
The new wolf graphic identity will be used extensively by intercollegiate
athletics and also in marketing the university both to internal and external
audiences, according to Cora Zaletel, Assistant to the President for External
Affairs.
"With this design competition, we hope not only to obtain a new wolf
graphic identity, but to build excitement about the many changes occurring at
USC as we make the transformation to Colorado State University-Pueblo next July.
We want Pueblo, southeastern Colorado, and the entire state to feel a certain
pride and ownership in our new status. This contest provides a tremendous
opportunity to solicit input on how this institution might best present itself
to the world," Zaletel said.
The competition is open to the public and will run from today (Sept. 30) through
October 31, 2002. The winning entry will be selected by Nov. 15, 2002. All
entries will be judged by a campus committee, which reserves the right to reject
any or all entries. The number of entries per artist is not restricted. All
entries become the property of the University of Southern Colorado. Since the
university will be sole owner of entries, submissions are not subject to joint
ownership or interest. Entries will not be returned. By submitting an entry,
participants agree to all the terms of the contest, which are included in the
attached document.
The University of Southern Colorado is a regional, comprehensive university
emphasizing professional, career-oriented and applied programs. Displaying
excellence in teaching, celebrating diversity, and engaging in service and
outreach, USC is distinguished by access, opportunity, and overall quality of
services provided to its students.
