Neuroverse Logo Competition
The University is creating a neurodivergent ally network, and we’d love your help choosing the design which will become the face of the Neuroverse!
What is the Neuroverse?
Neuroverse is the University’s upcoming network of staff allies supporting neurodivergent students. It is being created to build a more inclusive, supportive, and understanding environment by promoting visibility, awareness, and allyship across our community.
The network will connect students with trained staff allies who are committed to recognising and supporting neurodiversity. Staff allies will undertake training co-designed with neurodivergent students, and will aim to be visible, approachable, and informed points of support.
What is the logo for?
We’re looking for a logo that captures the spirit of the Neuroverse, something that celebrates neurodiversity, inclusion, and belonging.
The selected design will:
- Be used across promotional materials
- Be featured on digital platforms
- Be turned into wearable pins and used on email signatures so staff allies can be easily identifiable and approachable for neurodivergent students
Who can submit?
This competition is open to University of Newcastle students who identify as neurodivergent.
We want this to be something created by the community, for the community.
