Logo contest

We are in a need of a new logo!

We are thrilled to announce the ItäVä logo contest! An exciting opportunity for all of you to unleash your creativity and design skills.

Send us your suggestion by December 15th and win a gift card!

At the general meeting this year, the association adopted a new name and now we are looking for a brand new logo to go with it. The drive for the name change was rooted in the latest recommendations to address ourselves as doctoral researchers rather than students. The name is derived from Itä-Suomen yliopiston itöskirjatutkijat (doctoral researchers of University of Eastern Finland). From Finnish, itävä can be translated as sprouting (it is the present participle from the verb itää). This name embodies our shared journey of growth and development as we navigate the world of research and academia together. Now, we invite you to contribute to the visual identity of ItäVä by designing a logo that captures the essence of our community.

This logo will be a symbol that represents our values, aspirations, and unity. It will be displayed on our official website, social media platforms, event materials, and other promotional materials. It should be a representative
