Logo Winners + Games Night!

Good day, everyone :)

Our event last month, Games and Gathering Night, was a success! Thank you very much to everyone who joined us. The pictures will be uploaded later - but as a recap, we had tons of Indonesian food; gorengan abang2 such as bakwan and pisang goreng, roti bakar, and of course the legendary indomie! For about four hours or so, our attendees played in FIFA tournament and poker. Congrats to the winner of our poker game that night, Winardi Hambali, and the winner of our FIFA tournament, Cheol Kim! We also announced the winner of our logo competition:

1. Martin Prijatna

2. Victoria Simansjah

3. Andrew Liman Chandra

Congrats everyone! Below are all the participants and their logos:

Martin Prijatna

The intertwine of two letters, 'u' and 'i', symbolizes the unification between SFU-IA association and the university. It can also mean as 'you' and 'I' in a strong relationship. The letter 'i' stands out to signify the Indonesian Association. 'I' can also imply as a human body to emphasis IA's humanitarian and community efforts. Purple and red colours give both cool and warm qualities to represent the creativity and diversity as a cultural organization. On the other hand, grey stands for solidity and reliability as a young well-educated team. A lower-case serif font adds character to the brand that is young, friendly and fun.

Black and white version of this logo:

Victoria Simansjah

Objective: To create a logo that represents and "speaks" on behalf of SFUIA without it having to "say" anything. Details: The IA is put into a speech bubble on purpose to show that it is a logo of an association where voices could be and would be heard. The lowercase "i" is juxtaposed with a stickman so that it gives the sense of individuality within the association. The colours both represent Indonesia as it is red and white... and a little touch of SFU's red. A touch of type is added into the element to further describe the acronyms. The logo is made up of two dimensional colours, red and white to represent professional, simplicity and youth elements. Within the mail, there is an attached pdf displaying the alternate ways of representing the logo in business cards and also in different backgrounds.

I tried to have the logo for SFU Indonesian Association be very simplistic. The gray background is not part of the logo, it is just a background so that the letter 'A' will not join with the white default background and cause some misunderstandings. This logo uses the color of our Indonesian flag which is red and white. These colors will greatly resemble the proud nationality of Indonesia. Red means brave and white means pure. Under our very familiar color of our flag we can unite as Indonesians. Almost as if it is a mark of our identity. Through the diversity of Indonesians, we will be identified as one with this iconic logo. Because of the simplicity, this IA logo will easily be remembered with visual cognition. Meaning that this logo is easily recognizable and people who are familiar with it will quickly recognize that it is the logo of Indonesian Association. The black background puts a huge visual weight in the logo. For some people, this weight represents the strong ambitions that we Indonesians have. For other people, this weight may be understood as challenges or a bad connotation. But even through the challenges we have faced, we Indonesians still pull through together and we can stand proud of this logo that unites Indonesians.

Another version of the logo:

Alicia Loh

The background of this logo is in the shape of the famous Indonesian kite, widely flown across the nation, to show the immense Indonesian culture. In addition to that, the logo resembles the dove, which symbolizes peace.

Red, and white are the main colours used because they are the colors of the national flag. The contrast in the colours also represents how different people can co-exist in harmony, and create a beautiful environment.

Hands have been incorporated to go in accordance with the things SFUIA stands for. They show motivation, a desire to achieve, along with people coming together as one.

Once again, we would like to say thank you to everyone who participates and congratulations for the winners! We really appreciate all of your effort and passion to work with us!
