The National Informatics Centre (NIC), under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026, marking five decades of driving India’s digital transformation and e-Governance initiatives. To commemorate this milestone, NIC in collaboration with MyGov invites citizens to participate in a Logo Design and Tagline Writing Contest, fostering public engagement in shaping its golden jubilee identity. The contest seeks a fresh, innovative logo and tagline that reflect NIC’s journey, impact, and future aspirations.

Participants should ensure their designs align with government norms, including the Digital Brand Identity Manual, and follow best design principles such as scalability, adaptability (black & white, color variations), and simplicity for diverse applications.
