A graphic design student has won a competition to design a logo for the new centre reports Neandra Etienne

Marius, designer of the new logo

The new Newham Heritage Centre logo was unveiled by Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz during a celebratory event at NewVIc.

Twelve sixth form students took part in a ten-week creative programme, beginning with a visit to the Canning Town Old Library. The students worked alongside Newham Council, creative facilitators, college tutors, and project architects Haworth Tompkins to develop fresh design ideas.

The winning logo was designed by graphic design student Marius. His design draws inspiration from distinctive architectural shapes found in archive spaces and features the letter ‘H’ to symbolise history and heritage.

The logo will appear in campaigns and branding when Newham Heritage Centre opens in 2026. The Council will also continue to support Marius’s development through work experience and mentoring opportunities with its creative team.
