Hellenic Crystallographic Association
Logo design competition for the
International Year of Crystallography –
2013
PRIZE: Apple iPad
In 1912 Max von Laue showed that
X-rays were diffracted by crystals, and
in 1913 W. H. and W. L. Bragg
demonstrated that the diffraction of
X-rays can be used to determine the
positions of atoms within a crystal.
These groundbreaking experiments mark
the birth of modern crystallography. The
International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)
is marking the centennial of these
events by declaring 2013 the
International Year of Crystallography
(IYCr2013).
Logo design competition
Entries are invited for the design of a
logo for the International Year of
Crystallography.
The logo should symbolize and represent
the fundamental importance of
crystallography to society.
The logo will be used for announcements,
letterheads, brochures, publications,
web sites and other purposes as may be
decided by the IUCr.
Designs should be sent by email to the
IUCr Executive Secretary (execsec@iucr.org)
by
1 July 2011.
