Maritime Conference Logo

INTERTANKO (International Association of Independent Tanker Owners) is a Non-Profit industry association representing shipowners that own oil and chemical tankers.

Every year, the association organises a meeting where members and other people within the maritime industry have an opportunity to meet.

Contrary to our image, the tanker shipping industry is energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly. We are committed to providing environmentally sound and efficient seaborne transportation of oil, gas and chemical products.

The logo's of the previous 3 years can be found on http://www.intertanko.com/previousevents. the logo's prior to 2006 almost all used the tankership element and round/half round. We do not necessarily want to do this again - let the creative juices flow!

We are looking for ideas for a refreshing modern logo for our event that will take place in Tokyo 2009.

- The fact that it is a TANKER/MARITIME INDUSTRY EVENT that takes place in TOKYO should clearly be evident from the logo.
- Modern and fresh design
- WORDS: logo must include 1) our name (INTERTANKO, must be capital letters); 2) the city and year (Tokyo 2009, no preference for font etc);
- COLOR: no particular requirements BUT please keep in mind 1) our association's logo is blue and 2) we sometimes print in b/w so preferably a logo that would also look good in b/w;
- FORMAT: preferably photoshop/illustrator

No pirates of the caribbean please ;-)
