New TUSIAD Logo...New for How Long?


New Tusiad Logo by Yetkin Basarir
was declared the winner after a design competition. The logo is very much in keeping with the design style of Basarir and has strong letter based influences of BEK (Bulent Erkmen) and is a major improvement to the old logo.

However its multi use applicability is questionable. The white bars seems to work for the Turkish umlauts however the letter A is separated in the silliest manner.

A new logo will be needed soon once the cons of using it proves to be more serious than its pro's.
