Vote for your Favorite Design Today!

The IEEE ITS Society (ITSS) is looking for a new logo that will better reflect the core values of ITSS and create an excellent visual illustration. To facilitate the creation of a new logo, ITSS recently held a Logo Design Competition which was open to all ITSS members.

Thirty logo designs were submitted as part of the ITSS Logo Design Competition. Members of the ITSS Outreach Committee and the Board of Governors reviewed each design and selected six designs as finalists.

As a member of the ITS Society, we are asking YOU to help select the new ITSS logo by voting for your favorite design finalist. Voting is open until 8 December 2022.
