তন্দ্রা /TONDRA
OPEN CALL FOR LOGO DESIGN

Deadline: 16th December 2025

OPEN CALL FOR LOGO DESIGN

তন্দ্রা / TONDRA


Samdani Art Foundation invites young artists and graphic designers to submit logo proposals for TONDRA/ তন্দ্রা .

We are looking for a static logo (in both English and Bangla) along with a short animation/GIF version of the logo. The moving version does not have to be final at the submission stage — a rough or simple animation is completely fine. The animation/GIF will primarily be used for social media storytelling, while the static logo will be used across digital, print, and exhibition contexts.

The design should reflect the poetic, emotional, and dream-like world of TONDRA—a liminal space where reality and imagination blur, where longing, nostalgia, transformation, and new futures coexist.


Your logo may be:

  • Graffiti-inspired

  • Cartoon/comic style

  • Minimal

  • Experimental

  • Hand-drawn, illustrated, or digitally designed

  • Or any creative visual language that captures the spirit of TONDRA

We strongly encourage submissions that creatively respond to the Tondra text and express how you interpret its themes.


Find the Tondra text below:


Prize

The selected artist/designer will:

  • Receive BDT 30,000

  • See their design used across TONDRA’s platforms and possibly at the next Dhaka Art Summit


The winning artist/designer must be willing to:

  • Work with the Samdani Art Foundation team to refine the logo

  • Develop/adjust the GIF or short animation for social media and other platforms


Additional financial support may be provided to the winner through mutual conversation
