Introduction
The Quantitative Research Methods Group (QMRG) is excited to announce a competition for designing a new logo for our group! The final selected logo (with potential revision) will be used in future QMRG sponsor events and associated media materials. Inspired by Geocomputation with R, we aim to foster creativity and collaboration in the spirit of fun and innovation. The competition kicks off on June 1st, 2024, and is open to everyone from anywhere. You have until July 31st to submit a single map, a set of maps, or another visualisation that could serve as the group’s logo. Feel free to reach out with questions via email: qmrg.rgs.ibg@gmail.com.
Competition Rules
• Theme : The logo must be somewhat related to quantitative methods in geography.
• Reproducibility : The winning image/concept must be based on reproducible code such as R or Python (no limitation on programming languages).
• Deadline : Please check back later
Evaluation Criteria Submissions will be evaluated by the committee members of the RGS Quantitative Research Methods Group based on:
• The suitability of the image as a logo for the group.
• Creativity and originality.

A little background The Quantitative Methods Research Group (QMRG) is one of a number of Speciality Research Groups of the RGS-IBG. The QMRG exists to promote the application of quantitative methods in Geography. It encompasses research across a broad range of topics in statistics and general quantitative modelling approaches. You can find more information and history of our group in our website.
Some Food for thought on the logo QMRG promotes quantitative methods in Geography. Key words to think about when creating the logo are: geography, coding, computation, digital footprints, GPS and more. Here are some AI-generated images as food for thought. Please note that AI-generated images will not be accepted as submissions for this competition.
