Design Dalston’s Future: Kingsland Shopping Centre Launches £2,000 Logo Design Competition

About the Open Call

Kingsland Shopping Centre is undergoing a transformation and is seeking a fresh visual identity that captures the heart, heritage, and creativity of Dalston. The current logo is outdated and does not reflect the vibrant soul of the area. The competition is looking for bold, imaginative designs that incorporate Dalston’s diverse cultures, creative spirit, history (music, migration, markets, community), and a sense of place, energy, and belonging. This initiative is part of Criterion’s broader vision to regenerate the centre into a thriving, community-focused destination, embedding culture, accessibility, and opportunity at the core of Dalston’s ongoing story.

What is Offered

The winner will receive £2,000. Four finalists will each receive £500. The top 30 designs will be exhibited at Kingsland Shopping Centre, where the public will vote for their favorites. The top 5 designs will proceed to a final round.

Requirements

The competition is open to anyone who lives, works, or studies in Hackney.
