FAS LOGO DESIGN COMPETITON
Congratulations to the Winners:
1st Prize
Abdullah Ehlid Al Walid Bin Luli (FAS Staff)
"The large, stylized letters "FAS" serve as the main focal point of the logo, representing the faculty itself. The letters are bold and slightly curved, which conveys a sense of stability and creativity, blending professionalism with a touch of modernity. The red triangle embedded within the letter "A" adds a striking contrast and might symbolize progress or a guiding direction, pointing upwards or forward. This shape could represent ambition, growth, or dynamism, aligning with the faculty's mission to foster intellectual development and forward-thinking. Below the "FAS" text, there is a lightbulb icon with a gear inside and connected lines radiating out. Traditionally, a lightbulb symbolizes ideas, knowledge, and enlightenment, reflecting the educational mission of FAS to illuminate minds. The gear represents mechanics, action, or the process of development. This suggests that FAS emphasizes practical application and continuous learning, where knowledge isn’t just theoretical but is applied and “set in motion.” The UTAR logo in the bottom left is the official logo of Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, providing a visual link to the university’s branding. The name "Faculty of Arts & Social Science" is written in bold, emphasizing the faculty’s identity clearly and formally. The font choice is clean and professional, suitable for an academic institution, reinforcing the seriousness of the faculty’s mission."
2nd Prize
Lim Kai Ying (2301025)
"For this logo design, I used simple patterns and modern font styles to make the logo professional and attractive. The main colors are UTAR's iconic colors such as blue, red and yellow to ensure coordination with the school's overall visual system. The pattern elements include books, dialog boxes, thinking patterns and lights to symbolize knowledge, academic research, transmission and guidance, highlighting the academic background of arts and social sciences, and representing thinking and wisdom. The fonts are stable sans serif fonts to express modernity and professionalism, or slightly artistic fonts to reflect the characteristics of the combination of art and social sciences. Finally, the UTAR logo and faculty names are placed in appropriate positions to ensure that they do not conflict when combined with the FAS logo."
3rd Prize
Helina Ng Hui Tong (2305543)
"The logo expresses the unique position of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences by combining the symbolic elements of art and science. The shape of the DNA double helix in the center symbolizes science, innovation and the transmission of knowledge, suggesting that the College is not only concerned with the field of art, but also with scientific research. the dark blue curve of the DNA structure is solid and continuous, symbolizing the systematic and deep nature of the College's education. The yellow figures leap between the DNA structures, symbolizing the vitality and growth of the students, while holding red pencils, representing creativity, artistic expression and enthusiasm for learning. It also reflects the college's educational philosophy of fostering the spirit of inquiry and expression. The letters “FAS” in the logo indicate the name of the college, while the UTAR symbol next to it indicates the affiliation of the college. The overall design is simple, modern and conveys the multidisciplinary character and dynamism of the college. "
