Challenge Summary
Welcome to Multi-Video 3D Stereo Logo Design Challenge! In this challenge, we want your help to create a logo and matching banner that accurately visualizes multi view stereo 3D mapping, satellite imagery, algorithms, and point clouds. Any and/or all of those topics can be included in your design.
This is a fast Logo and Banner challenge. We are looking for a simple, clean, and innovative logo. Show us your best work!
This competition is quick and consists of just one round. You will submit your final designs, and 3 designers will receive awards of $500 for 1st place, $250 for 2nd place, $25 for 3rd.

- Final Logo
- Final Banner (to coordinate with logo)
- Notes: Any information you want client to notice about your logo
About the Challenge (IMPORTANT! Logo Considerations):
We need a logo that helps convey the importance of technology and research in the areas of multi view stereo 3D mapping, satellite imagery, algorithms, and point clouds. Abstract or literal design ideas are both welcome for consideration. The logo and banner designs must coordinate with each other. Please read the information below for necessary background context on the challenge:
- Keywords for this challenge: Multi-View Stereo Mapping Data, 3D mapping, Satellite Imagery, 3D Point Cloud, algorithm, GIS, technology, 3D modeling, applied physics
Logo/Banner Requirements:
- We would like the logo to be professional and conservative (yet still innovative/creative)
- Font (if used) is open to the designers, DO NOT include any font files in your submission or source files.
- Designs must be created as VECTOR artwork so they can be resized without a loss of quality. Make sure your logo quality is not diminished when scaled up or down.
- The logo should grasp the message of the logo design
- You need make sure your logo looks okay above light or dark background by submitting them in white and black backgrounds.
Required Logos/Banners:
We would like to have a few versions of logo designs.
1. Logo/Icon:
- Create an icon or logo that relates to the concept
- Create a black and white version as well a color version of this icon
2. Logo with Logotype (not required, but for additional bonus points to overall score)
- Create a version of your logo and pair it with the name of the challenge – “Multi View Stereo 3D Mapping Challenge” or a clever variation of that same name (example: MVS3DM Challenge)
- Please make sure to see the Logo considerations above.
- Submit one version of AI/EPS logo file with text intact (not outlined) and another version of AI/EPS logo file with text in outlined format.
3. Banner
- Create a banner image that coordinates with the logo (this will be used in our challenge communications materials such as website, forums, press releases, etc.) Note: please provide this image in 1920 x 768 px for a website banner.
