National Capital Area Translators AssociationLogo Design Contest

An association of independent professional translators based in Washington DC. We help our members connect with clients, share information with one another and develop their skills.

Open to ideas, and bold use of color if the professional character can be maintained. Generally want to avoid purple, brown, or orange as main color.

We look forward to your creativity!

It is important that the logo characterize our location in Washington DC. We like the idea of using the U.S. Capital Dome, but simple, abstract depictions of a dome on its own are not specific enough to Washington DC. The DC skyline is also an idea we like (see attached image), but may be too complex/detailed for the logo. These are examples, but we would really welcome any creativity around the representation of our Washington DC location.

Images of the American flag to connote Washington DC are not appropriate for this logo since our clients and members come from many nationalities.

Other information:

We are one of about 20 regional chapters and affiliates of the American Translators Association

The new logo will be prominently featured on a new website also in development now.

It is possible, but not necessary, to incorporate our acronym: NCATA, but only in addition to the full name- not on its own.
