The 125th Anniversary Logo Design Competition has been extended through January 31, 2011. All alumni, students, faculty, and staff are eligible to enter.

Read the design brief and learn how to enter.

Pratt Institute is holding a competition to find the best logo design to mark the Institute’s 125th anniversary. Beginning in September 2011, Pratt will begin marking the Institute’s 125th anniversary with 16 months of events, lectures, and exhibitions. The winning design will become the official logo for invitations, programs, and other materials used in connection with the lectures, exhibitions, and other events and activities taking place in honor of Pratt’s 125th anniversary; it will be used on all anniversary-branded materials such as street banners, invitations, and commemorative products.

ALUMNI, FACULTY,  STAFF
INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN
PRATT’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY
MEMORY PROJECT

As part of Pratt’s 125th Anniversary celebration, we’re launching the Pratt 125th Anniversary Memory Project, which will document the recollections of Institute alumni, faculty, and staff over the past 125 years. Pratt’s history spans some of the most important events of the 20th century—events that helped shape our culture and continue to influence society. Now, we’re turning to you to help us capture and preserve these precious stories.

Do you remember the elevated train that once ran through campus? The exhilarating classes with your favorite professor? The mood on campus and your response to the Vietnam War or the aftermath of September 11, 2001?  We invite you to share your most compelling memories and images of Pratt Institute through the decades. Selected submissions will appear in a special commemorative issue of Prattfolio, on the Pratt website, and in promotional and other materials related to Pratt’s 125th Anniversary. 

The deadline for submitting your memories is February 15, 2011! You may send your submissions to the 125th Anniversary Memory Project, including photographs (300 dpi at 100%, if possible), via email to 125memory@pratt.edu. Please include your contact information and Pratt affiliation, including degree and year if you are an alum.

Marquis Studios, an organization that introduces the arts into schools, brought students from Brooklyn elementary school P.S. 270 to tour Pratt's Brooklyn campus at the end of last semester. Founded by Pratt Trustee David Marquis, Marquis Studios most recently has been offering its pupils an architecture program taught by Pratt alumna Anne deVere (B. Arch. ’88) and funded by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation. 

Marquis and deVere led 90 fourth- and fifth- graders on a tour of the School of Architecture, the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center, and other locations around campus. 

The tour was followed by a question-and-answer session in Higgins Hall auditorium with Marquis, Pratt President Thomas F. Schutte, and Undergraduate Architecture Chair Erika Hinricks.
