Expression of Interest (EOI) – Moorditj Walyan Program Logo Design
The Moorditj Walyan (Strong Lungs) Program is inviting Expressions of Interest (EOI) from local Aboriginal artists, residing in Perth WA, to design a new program logo that reflects its purpose, values and commitment to culturally safe health promotion.
The opportunity aims to engage an Aboriginal artist whose creativity, cultural knowledge and artistic expression can help shape the visual identity of the Moorditj Walyan program and its work to raise awareness of the harms associated with smoking and vaping and promote lung health among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Logo Design Theme
The new Moorditj Walyan logo should reflect the program’s identity, purpose and commitment to improving lung health within Aboriginal communities. Artists are encouraged to draw on their creativity, cultural knowledge and artistic style to develop an original design that represents the program’s message and values.
The logo will be used across Moorditj Walyan promotional materials and resources to help build recognition of the program and its culturally safe approach to health promotion.
