The Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association (KLPA) was established in 1985. It has recently come to our attention that we are yet to create an official logo. Therefore, we have drawn the conclusion that it is about time we had one!
This is where we have decided to call on your creative talents and enthusiasm for all things ‘Pond’. We thought what better way to promote, reconnect and reinvigorate our community following a very challenging time than to open up this collaboration with our membership in the form of a competition.
Prize – Win a lifetime membership to the KLPA plus KLPA hats and mugs. The top five short listed designs will be made into postcards. The ten finalists will have their logos published in the next newsletter and their designs will be added to the KLPA archive to become a part of history.
Brief – We would like a logo which captures one or more of the following; the history, community, spirit, ethos or the nature at Kenwood Ladies’ Pond.
– All applicants must either be a member of KLPA or a member’s daughter/granddaughter/niece if under the age of 16. To become a member of KLPA please apply here. Annual membership is £5.
– Keep it simple so that it can be reproduced easily in different formats/locations.
– A4 in size, it can be colour but needs to be able to work in black and white.
– The design should be entirely your own work and does not use any copyrighted images.
– The winning design will become the property of the KLPA for unlimited use in the future for publicity and merchandising.
All entries must be received on or before 5pm, 12 December 2020. Please send digital copies to ladiespond@gmail.com addressed to ‘Harriet’. Should you wish to send a hardcopy please contact me on the above email and I will provide a postal address.
Kenwood Ladies’ Pond was opened to the public in 1925 and Irmgard Schaeffer, a founding swimmer, offers an early description: ‘Our Pond was then and for a long time afterwards very private. A grass path led to a wooden plank with a couple of primitive huts for changing and a bench for clothes. There were a few moor-fowl, plenty of pike and small fry which used to terrify the women when they swam down their cleavages’.
