Singapore Rowing is looking for a new logo, and you can help.

We're throwing this wide open: It can be a completely brand new design, with no reference to the old one.

We only ask that the new logo represent - as best as possible - Singapore Rowing's core identity and purpose, which is to be:

Inclusive: We want to share our love for rowing with people of all backgrounds, whether able or adaptive; and at levels from recreational to representing Singapore.

Innovative: We want to create more opportunities for people to access the benefits of rowing in novel, exciting ways - be it at home, in the gym, from the beach or out at open sea.

How do you think all of this looks like in a logo? Email us your design(s) at [email protected] before 31st January 2023.

Our exco will pick the 5 best designs and put them up for public voting on our social media channels.
