Call for Logos for the SotM 2025 conference

State of the Map 2025 will take place in Manila. Calling all creative minds, The Call for Logos for the SotM 2025 conference is now open. A logo is an essential part of any event as it sets and represents the spirit and mood of the global conference. The logo is a crucial element in defining the design and color scheme of the official website, as well as the style of the conference content on all OSM platforms. It will also be used in the production of SotM merchandise and swag, such as t-shirts and stickers, creating unforgettable memories from the conference. We welcome everyone, from experienced graphic design professional to hobbyist and newbies, to share your innovative visual ideas with the community!
