Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages
60th Anniversary Logo Design Contest Guidelines
I. Purpose
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages, this logo design contest aims to gather creative ideas from faculty, students, and alumni. The goal is to design a logo that reflects the university’s unique character and represents its 60-year history. Participants are encouraged to use creativity and design thinking, integrating Wenzao’s spirit and future vision, to create a logo that holds symbolic meaning for use in the university’s 60th-anniversary celebrations.
II. Design Theme
The logo design must incorporate elements that highlight the theme of Wenzao’s 60th anniversary. The theme details are as follows:
A. Main Title: "Blossom" (綻) This concept reflects Wenzao’s commitment to holistic development and the cultivation of uniqueness. Reaching 60 years marks both a significant milestone and a time of flourishing, as the university continues to nurture talent and grow. The word "Blossom" symbolizes this turning point. While it is phonetically similar to the word "Praise" (讚), it also embodies determination and the resolve to break new ground, reaching new heights of hope and aspiration. It demonstrates Wenzao’s commitment to continuous evolution, progress and excellence.
B. Subtitle: "Wenzao 60: A Leap into a New Journey" (文藻60.躍進新程) Wenzao is dedicated to the philosophy of “Service with an Open Heart” as it moves toward new development milestones. The subtitle represents innovation in academic, cultural, and international exchange fields while meeting new challenges. "A Leap into a New Journey" is both practical and motivational, encouraging faculty, staff, students, and alumni to unite in their efforts for Wenzao’s brilliant future transformation.
