Every conference needs its own logo, and ours is no exception.

The computer key icon in the top left is something I mocked together as a stand-in, but I’m sure one of you can do much, much better.

So I thought a competition might be in order, to design the official logo.

As well as the prestige of seeing your work all over the web, we’ll also put some kind of goody bag together for the winner.

I guess we don’t need to include the conference name in the logo – that can sit alongside the logo in any marketing. But if you have a clever way of incorporating the conference name, you can do.

Please don’t use any copyrighted images, as we can’t reproduce them without complications. And, if possible, make sure entries are at least 300 dpi so we don’t have to redraw.

So, boot up Photoshop and do your best. Email entries to network – at – nature.com by the end of May.
