Logo Contest

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) is looking for our yearly logo to celebrate diversity within our agency and the Osceola County Community. We host a logo design contest to get the most authentic branding to represent our county. This contest is for all middle and high school students of Osceola County. The new logo may be used on our website, social media, marketing pieces, souvenirs, trinkets, posters, gifts, and anything else the agency chooses.

Prompt: Diversity in Osceola County

Guidelines and parameters must be followed to be considered for this contest:

  • The Sheriff’s Office 5-point star symbol must be incorporated into your logo, following the guidelines provided.
  • The logo must include the sheriff’s name, “Sheriff Marcos R. Lopez”.
  • You must use our agency’s colors (green, gold, and white). The Hex codes for our brand identity are #14340D, #C08F19, and #FFFFFF. You can use the blank canvas area for the design, keeping cohesiveness with the diversity theme and the OCSO identity in mind.
  • You must submit the logo in a 1080×1080 px PDF format. The PDF must be in light gray. Please include the contestant’s name, email address, grade, and school the contestant attends. This information must be written in print on the back side of the design.

Upon submission, contestants must affirm that the design is their original work and has not been copied from others or previous designs (including their own). Also, it must not violate the intellectual property rights of any other person or entity.
