The Cyber Center of Excellence is seeking a new logo as Fort Gordon moves closer to an official renaming to Fort Eisenhower, and is asking local designers to submit potential designs to a contest.

The new name for the fort was approved last fall on the recommendation of a Congressional commission tasked with identifying military assets that commemorate the Confederacy or those who served in the Confederacy and suggesting new names. Fort Benning will also be getting a new name — Fort Moore.

“We are looking for a creative and unique logo that represents its namesake and our cyberspace environment, multi-service military installation,” Lesli J. Ellis-Wouters, the public affairs director of the Cyber Center, was quoted as saying in a news release. “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."

According to the release, potential logos have to be submitted by April 29, and have to include the name "Team Eisenhower" and represent the cyberspace domain of signals, cyber, electromagnetic warfare and public affairs.

Submissions should be emailed to usarmy.gordon.cyber-coe.mbx.ccoe-website-and-media@army.mil with the subject "Logo Design Contest Submission," along with the name and contact information of the designer and a description of the design.

Name change:Commission recommending name change for Fort Gordon to Fort Eisenhower completes work
