Contest rules and design guidelines
The most important thing is that UZH students like the avatar and feels like it represents well an AI assistant for the UZH. That being said, the following guidelines guarantee that we find the best avatar:
- Style: Favour a simple, minimalist design → the avatar should be easily recognizable, even in small size! The avatar should have its own expression that can vary (e.g. eyes, hands, mouth)
- Colours: Use UZH corporate design colours
- Format: .png with a white background. After the contest, you will be asked to share a modifiable format.
- Intellectual property: Be mindful that design should be your own. By submitting a design to this contest, the participant agrees to license their submission under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0).
