“I did not expect that I would achieve such success and that the jury would name the logo created by me the best, considering that many extraordinary works are presented at the exhibition. I thank my university, and the Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth for this great support. I can say that I’ve put enough resources into my contest work. I developed a special concept - a minimalist point of view, which is most relevant to the 21^st century: the era of science, rapid technological progress, and innovation. For the logo, I created a linear structure that combines an atom and a man with outstretched arms, encompassing our world, the planet. Accordingly, I used basic complementary colors: blue and orange, which in combination are youthful, safe, creative, energetic, and friendly. Also, I used complementary colors: dark blue and white, which blend smoothly. I am glad that my concept was successful,” said the winning contestant.

The Technical University of Georgia, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of Georgia, announced the competition on March 2^nd of this year, regarding the creation of the logo of the “Young Scientists Scientific Week” of GTU. According to the competition conditions, students could introduce the contest materials until March 20^th.
