➜ Short description

The WOLDA Worldwide Logo Design Award, international graphic design competition, now in its 16th year is calling for entries!

The aim of this competition is to honor the world‘s best work in the area of logo design and business stationery. The competition is aimed at setting up international contacts between graphic designers all over the world.

The Worldwide Logo Design Award (WOLDA) competition is open for designs created between January 1, 2023 and September 30, 2025.

There are seven categories:

• Category 1: Logo new
• Category 2: Logo redesign
• Category 3: Animated logo, sound logo
• Category 4: Flexible logo, flexible identity
• Category 5: Corporate identity
• Category 6: Corporate identity with custom typefaces

The competition aims to show the entire spectrum around logo design. Therefore, in addition to the classic categories for new logos and logo redesign, there are also categories for animated logos, sound logos, corporate identities, flexible logos, identities with custom typefaces and logos and packaging.

A great logo consists of three core elements:

1) it must have a unique idea which is relevant and original
2) it must clearly communicate the identity of the company or organ
3) it must be designed/crafted perfectly.

When these three elements are combined as simple and flexible as possible you can create a great logo. It almost becomes an art form.

An international Jury will decide about awards in gold, silver and bronze. In addition to the main prizes, there are also the “Awards of Excellence” for outstanding individual achievements. These awards – like the main prizes – are on the list of winners.
