Submissions are now being accepted for the Order of the Arrow’s 100th Anniversary Identity Contest. With the thematic concept of “Centuries of Service” chosen for 2015, Arrowmen are invited to submit their ideas for the integrated identity. Submissions should minimally include a 100th anniversary year-long logo, a NOAC 2015 patch, and a 100th anniversary totem. The totem is a simple icon that ties together all 100th anniversary pieces. (For the Order’s 75thAnniversary, a turtle was chosen. Several others used some form of an arrowhead.)
Youth and adults are invited to submit their ideas to @email. The Arrowman with the chosen submission will be recognized at the 2015 National Order of the Arrow Conference with an exclusive commemorative patch set capturing what he or she helped to create. As an added bonus, if the winning submission originates from a youth, his NOAC fee will be picked up by the National Committee, and he will be invited to participate as a member of the 100thAnniversary Youth Advisory Committee.
Submissions are due by October 4, 2013. Some helpful reminders when creating a design:
- Take inspiration from the “Centuries of Service” thematic concept
- Reflect on what the Order of the Arrow and the Boy Scouts of America have done to celebrate other large milestones
- Create a NOAC 2015 patch that can be easily stitched
- Think simple, clean, crisp
- Integrate the three potentially unique pieces together
