USC Aiken Students Participate in International Logo Contest

Early in 2004, the International Digistar Users Group held a logo contest. The
group was interested in creating a logo to represent themselves and opened an
international contest to create the logo.
Under the leadership of USC Aiken Visual & Performing Arts professors
Al Beyer and Michael Fowler, the following students submitted their work
to the
contest: Sadia Baig, Chandy Holland, Haley Padgett, Jennifer Feldman, Terrance
Leverette, Nathan Elliott, Matthew Smith and Veronica Montesdeoca,
There were a large number of entries into the contest and all of the USCA entries
were great. A first round of voting narrowed the field of over 40 possibilities
down to six contestants. This narrowed field of six included the entries of Matthew
Smith and Haley Padgett. This field of six was narrowed to a field of three with
Matthew Smith still among them. While a USCA entry was not selected as the final
logo for the Digistar Users Group, it is exciting that our students were competitive
in this contest. A hearty congratulations is extended to the students in the
USC Aiken Visual and Performing Arts Department.
