ROCKINGHAM LAUNCHES 10TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO COMPETITION
THE UK’s youngest motor racing circuit is 10 this year and to celebrate Rockingham has launched a fantastic competition for all budding artists.
The Northamptonshire circuit is looking for a new logo to commemorate its 10th anniversary, which shows what Rockingham is all about. The competition is open to anyone – young or old!
Since opening in May 2001, Rockingham has held many great events however 10-years on the circuit is no longer just associated with motorsport but the whole of the motor and corporate entertainment industry.
Motorsport is still a key business area for testing and race events, but the circuit has also established itself as one of the UK’s leading venues for manufacturers, track day organisers, driver training as well as corporate and retail days.
In this time Rockingham also became the UK’s first environmentally conscious circuit with all off-track activities becoming Carbon Neutral and has managed to reduce its energy usage by over 40 per cent.
The future is very much focused on continuing to grow the business and developing an educational programme to provide young people a unique environment to learn. Rockingham has forged strong links with both its academic and industry partners, and has been involved in a variety of projects including the Rockingham Festival and the Shell-Eco Marathon.
Rockingham Director Charlotte Orton, said: “We cannot believe Rockingham is 10 already! It has been an eventful first decade and we are really looking forward to celebrating the next 10-years.
“To commemorate this fantastic milestone, we are looking for someone to design a new logo, which we can use throughout our anniversary year. There are a few guidelines but in general, designs can be of a favourite aspect of Rockingham or how you see the circuit in the future.”
The brief is simple – the logo needs to:
· Incorporate the current Rockingham logo as the main component (this cannot be modified)
· Incorporate the number 10 somewhere within the design
· Work on any colour background
· Fit in with Rockingham’s brand guidelines and colour palette, a copy can be found at rockingham.co.uk/10yearlogo
The lucky winner will receive a family season ticket (two adults and two children aged 15 and under) and a commemorative item incorporating their winning logo design. In addition each person who is shortlisted will get a free ticket* to a Rockingham race meeting.
