WOKING has a vibrant new logo to help build a dynamic image for the town centre as the place to shop in Surrey. The colourful and bold design, which unusually also works well in mono, has been conceived by Radius Design Consultants of Richmond with the work co-ordinated by creative director Mark Hurel who lives in Old Woking. "I read about the decision to create a logo for the town centre and the design was created by a member of my team, Paul Chandler," said Mark.

The new logo results from a competition organised by the Woking Town Centre Management initiative and was administered and promoted by town centre manager Joanne Walker. "The competition attracted entries from individuals and enthusiastic amateurs and students as well as professional designers and companies," said Joanne at a prize giving ceremony held at the Holiday Inn. "From all the entries we selected 50 to go forward for detailed judging and these are now on display in the Woking Information Centre in Crown Square. "I was particularly pleased that most of the entries sought to express a feeling of pride in the town. The judges believe the winning concept is vibrant and modern and most important, instantly recognisable." Mark wins a weekend for two at any Holiday Inn in the UK.

Runners up are Kevin Gill of Touch, Look and Listen Design based in St John's, Woking, who won a Boots gift experience and Suzanne Zilka of Exemus Graphics in Ripley who was presented with a DVD player from Allders. The new logo will be developed into a brand and identity for Woking town centre and will be primarily used on all forms of literature. The design carries the strap line 'the town centre for everyone and features miniature lifestyle images within the multi-coloured lettering of the town's name.

Background Information

 invasion from the "War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells was set
 in Woking. Exemus' concept takes inspiration from the statue
 of the martian that stands in Woking town centre.
