15 Mar Call for Graphic Artists | Fort Gordon -> Fort Eisenhower
FORT GORDON, Ga. – The Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE) leadership is asking the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) community for help with creating a new logo, as the installation prepares for its transformation from Fort Gordon to Fort Eisenhower.
Fort Gordon is one of nine Army installations being renamed following an 18-month process culminating in the Congressional Naming Commission submitting final naming recommendations to the Department of Defense (DoD) on Oct. 1, 2022. On Oct. 6, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that the DoD accepted the Commission’s final recommendations, including the renaming of Fort Gordon to Fort Eisenhower.
“The name Fort Eisenhower is a great choice for Fort Gordon,” said CCoE and Fort Gordon Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Paul Stanton. “General Eisenhower was not only an exemplary citizen and leader, but he was also a devout golf enthusiast with a great respect and admiration for the greater Augusta area. Our military installations are designed to commemorate and reflect the courage, valor and rich diversity of our military heroes and as a five-star U.S. Army General who served as the Supreme Allied Commander during WWII and as President of the United States, we are proud to rename this post in his honor.”
With the new name comes the need for a new logo. The Cyber Center of Excellence is asking interested community members to submit logo designs for consideration no later than April 29, 2023.
“We are looking for a creative and unique logo that represents its namesake and our cyberspace environment, multi-service military installation,” said CCoE Public Affairs Director, Lesli J. Ellis-Wouters. “The winning logo design will be used in various ways to represent our brand and promote our post, to include on our website, in marketing materials, outreach merchandise, social media and signage. Overall, the winning logo will be an essential element of our brand identity, and we will use it to create a consistent and cohesive visual representation of our installation across all platforms.”
