CRC for Plant Biosecurity - identity http://legacy.crcplantbiosecurity.com.au/taxonomy/term/234/0 en Where's our brand been? http://legacy.crcplantbiosecurity.com.au/brand1 <p>In the December edition of <em>The Leaflet</em>, we announced an inter-CRC competition to see which CRC could have its brand photographed in the most exotic and interesting location.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>The initial response to the competition was great and I am hoping those who showed interest are still off soaking up the sun in some wonderful and exotic location, and will send through some amazing pictures soon.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>We offered an internal prize for the best photo/location, and so far it seems I am the only one who has submitted any photos! (I hope this doesn't mean I am the only person in the whole CRCNPB network that had holidays over Christmas!!).  I am pretty confident there could be a conflict of interest for giving myself a prize, so I will make the sacrifice!</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Click <a href="/brandcompetition" target="_blank">here</a> for photos (it would be nice to see someone else's photos on this page!)</p> <p>&#160;</p> <h1>win an iPod shuffle...</h1> <p>I urge you all to think innovatively and remember to take photos with your CRC for National Plant Biosecurity shirt/hat on. As an incentive, we are offering an iPod shuffle to the person who submits the best photo in an interesting location (with CRCNPB branding) before Friday 17 April. </p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>If you would like more information on the competition, please email me <a href="mailto:k.scott@crcplantbiosecurity.com.au">k.scott@crcplantbiosecurity.com.au</a></p> <p>Regards </p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Kate</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p><em>For the record, CAST CRC has been bold enough to share a photo of a researcher in the Antarctic with a penguin. I think its scare tactics. We mustn't succumb, but rise to the challenge.</em></p> <p>Back to <em><a href="/newsletter/february-2009">The Leaflet.</a></em></p> brand corporate identity logo Public Thu, 26 Feb 2009 02:16:22 +0000 K.Scott 903 at http://legacy.crcplantbiosecurity.com.au Look where our brand has been! http://legacy.crcplantbiosecurity.com.au/brandcompetition <div style="text-align: center"><img src="/sites/all/files/images/Inter_CRC_Brand.jpg" alt="Inter-CRC branding competition" hspace="2" vspace="2" width="450" height="150" /></div> <p>People involved with cooperative research centres across Australia are racing to see who can get their brand photographed in the most exotic and interesting location.

The idea is to see which CRC has its gear photographed in the most exotic and interesting place.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>So if you are climbing Everest, meeting the Queen, or going to space (or even somewhere less exciting) these holidays.... remember to wear a CRC for National Plant Biosecurity cap or shirt.

In the meantime, we will be offering an internal prize for the best photo taken which includes CRC for National Plant Biosecurity branding.</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>A webpage will also be developed so you can see where our brand has been!</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Happy snappy holidays!</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Kate</p> <p>&#160;</p> <p>Back to <a href="/newsletter/the-leaflet-december-2008" target="_blank">The Leaflet</a></p> brand corporate identity Public Wed, 17 Dec 2008 21:58:10 +0000 K.Scott 885 at http://legacy.crcplantbiosecurity.com.au
