Design A New BAHT LOGO

We are looking for a new BAHT logo to celebrate BAHT turning 40 in 2024!

Attention all you creative and artistic hand therapists!! 

2024 sees BAHT turn 40 years old and we want to celebrate with a new logo!

The current logo has served us well for 40 years but graphics have moved on and the original design does not reproduce well in some formats.

It is important that BAHT members are involved in the logo re-design process and this is where we need your help! Please use the Qualtrics link below to propose your design ideas and concepts for consideration.  

You don't have to be a super artist as we will be working with a designer to turn concepts into the final logo. 

It is important that the new logo:

  • has clear brand identity i.e we need to be instantly recognisable as a hand therapy association
  • doesn't have close similarity to any other hand therapy / surgery associations
  • reflects both occupational therapy and physiotherapy membership
  • is reproducible in all formats i.e. in print and online; website, social media formats

Submit your design suggestions or even just concept ideas using THIS LINK 

The link will close on Friday 5th April to allow the Exec Committee to work up a shortlist of designs before the final decision is made later in the year.

Please direct any questions to baht.chair@gmail.com
