The Mount Albert Bowling Club recently invited Year 12 and 13 design students from Marist
College and Mount Albert Grammar to design a logo to be used as part of the Club’s upcoming 125 year anniversary.

Zoe Whaley, a Year 13 student from Mount Albert Grammar, submitted what would end up being the winning design, and received a $400 voucher to use at The French Art Shop in Morningside.

The school also came away with two Highly Commendeds, with Chris Sykes and Sumaya Abrahams each receiving a $100 voucher.

Each school received a $200 voucher for participating in the competition.

The prizes were presented at a ceremony at Mount Albert Grammar on the 25 th of May.

Marist College are due to receive their voucher later this week.

Both of the schools were delighted to be part of the competition.

“The fact that it was a real client gave a purpose behind designing a logo that we can then see in action,” says Sarah-Jane Gauntlett, TiC Visual Art: Design at Mount Albert Grammar.

The students agree. Chris Sykes points out that during the school year, the students are their clients who create for themselves, “but this time we had a real client to focus on.”

Zoe Whaley, who entered three different designs, found that the whole exercise reignited her passion for design. “It made me realise that I do actually enjoy designing logos.”

David Bourke, Creative Director at local web design company Iceberg, who, along with Bowling Club President Nathan Haturini, judged the entries, was impressed by the calibre of designs he saw.

“It was the beautiful simplicity of Zoe’s design that secured her the top prize,” David says.

“The excellent versatility and the colour application gives it just enough of its own personality while adhering to the Mount Albert Bowling Club brand.”

The design will be used on a variety of material throughout the 2022/23 season, including the Club’s sports uniforms, signage and letterhead.

Iceberg and Headwear Stockists NZ sponsored the competition.

As part of the prize, Zoe, Chris and Sumaya will visit Iceberg’s offices, where the team will take them through a typical Agency creative process.

Nathan Haturini is thrilled with the enthusiasm shown by both schools.

“We’ve always seen ourselves as part of the Mount Albert community, so it made sense to get the community involved in our 125 year celebrations in a really tangible way,” he says.

“It was great that teachers and students got behind it.”

In fact, the club has strong links to both schools. Marist College students play at the club as part of their sporting curriculum and Mount Albert Grammar have their staff end of year functions there.

Electric blanket to give away
