Design our new Logo!

Let your creative juices flow and win $500

The IAPE logo has changed occasionally over the years. The union’s Board of Directors has decided IAPE needs a fresh look and we would love to select a logo design provided by one of our members.

The IAPE Board of Directors has approved a prize of $500 from the union’s Mobilization budget for a logo redesign contest. All IAPE-represented employees are eligible to enter this contest, with a tentative deadline for the IAPE Board to select a winner by June 30—just in time for the expiration of our contract with Dow Jones!

The new IAPE logo should be relevant to the union and our membership, and can incorporate elements from either or both of our parent unions: The NewsGuild and the Communications Workers of America. We can be identified by our full name, Independent Association of Publishers’ Employees (yes, the apostrophe goes after the s), or by our acronym and local designation number: IAPE 1096. Our current colors are red and black, and while we would prefer to retain red as a nod to our relationship with CWA, we are open to new ideas!

Entries containing complete vector files are preferable, but members may also submit ideas, concepts and sketches. We’re looking for a design that is scalable, to be reproduced on items as small as lapel pins and as large as . . . oh, let’s say, picket signs?

Send your design ideas to logocontest@iape1096.org. And if you’re looking for inspiration, check out these amazing NewsGuild local logo designs created by rank-and-file members in their own bargaining units!
