65th Anniversary Design Winner
After 24 brilliant entries and lots of head-scratching, debating, zooming in, and admiring… we finally have the one.
Huge congratulations to Gary Clark from HOWL 
Your design really stood out. We’ve made a few small tweaks for final use, but the overall concept and look were spot on from the start. Absolute cracker of a design
Gary wins a fab regalia bundle, all featuring the shiny new logo, and of course some well-earned bragging rights too 
A massive thank you to everyone who entered. The standard was seriously high and choosing a winner was not easy at all. You lot made this fun… and difficult!
Here it is in all its glory
