At TIERs, we believe that community is more than something we serve; it’s something we build with. From the work we do on the ground to the stories we tell and the spaces we fight to protect, our mission has always been rooted in shared values, lived experiences, and collective power. That’s why we’re inviting queer graphic designers from all over Nigeria to redesign our iconic eagle logo to help shape the future of our brand.
What We’re Looking For
We’re calling on queer graphic designers with a strong, creative portfolio, especially in logo design, to send in their work and be considered for this opportunity. Whether you’re self-taught or studio-trained, if you have a passion for visual storytelling and a sharp eye for meaningful design, we want to see what you can do.
The Process
- Portfolio Submission
First, we’re collecting expressions of interest (EOIs) via emails from interested designers. Send an email to us with your name, a letter of interest, and a PDF portfolio. The email subject should be “EOI for TIERs logo redesign” - Shortlist & Interviews
From the submissions, we’ll shortlist five designers. They will submit a written design concept for the new logo where the eagle is still present in thelogo. They will be invited to interview and explain their concept, and two finalist will be chosen based on the concept and interview. - Finalists & Concept Development
After interviews, we’ll select two designers to move forward and create fresh logo concepts for TIERs. We will give you one week to come up with three logo options, drawing inspiration from our existing eagle logo and a creative brief that includes our values, history, goals, and the energy we
want this new chapter to carry. - Selection
After careful consideration with our in-house team and TIERs Board, one final logo will be chosen to represent the new visual identity of TIERs.
What’s in it for you?
We believe in compensating creativity fairly, and we deeply value the time and energy that goes into this kind of work. Aside from the recognition of helping to shape the face of a prolific Human Rights NGO, the designer whose logo is selected will also receive payment for the use of their logo. The other designer whose work was not selected will receive compensation for their time.
