LGBT + Pulse Network – Logo Design Competition
The LGBT Staff Network will be changing their name later this year to The LGBT+ Pulse Network.  The network was founded in 2010 and aims to work in partnership with the University of Southampton and other LGBT networks to create a safe, inclusive and diverse working environment that encourages respect and equality for all, regardless of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. The LGBT Staff Network believes that, in order for every individual to reach their full potential, there must be no fear of discrimination or disrespect.
We are hosting a competition to design a new logo for the LGBT + Pulse network. The winner will be credited with the design which will be used in all ongoing publicity materials and win a £50 voucher which will be presented to the winner by Professor Sir Christopher Snowden, President and Vice-Chancellor at our rebrand event in December.
The objectives of the the LGBT + Pulse Network are:
- Act as an LGBT champion
- Work in partnership with the University’s Diversity Team
- Raise awareness of LGB staff issues
- Raise awareness of issues specifically affecting trans staff
- Be a safe point of contact for LGBT staff
- Actively influence University policies
- Support the University to improve its score in Stonewall’s Workplace Equality Index
- Organise activities and events for LGBT staff
