The Institute of Asphalt Technology – IAT Launches Crest Design Competition: A Symbol of Identity and Legacy
Matt Lambert Posted On July 31, 2025 
The Institute of Asphalt Technology (IAT) is proud to launch a landmark initiative – a design competition inviting all members to create a brand-new official crest for the organisation.
This exciting opportunity places IAT members at the centre of shaping the Institute’s visual identity for years to come, with the winning design being more than just a symbol – it will become a lasting emblem of the values, profession, and future of the IAT.
The new crest will be prominently featured on:
- The IAT President’s Chain
- All certifications and formal documents
- Branding and communication materials across the highways and asphalt sector
The current IAT President’s gong
The IAT is encouraging submissions that reflect three core values that define the Institute and its community:
- Collaboration – a commitment to sharing knowledge and supporting one another
- Community – a celebration of inclusivity, purpose, and pride
- Curiosity – a drive for continuous learning, progress, and innovation
Deadline for entries is the 5th of September 2025.
All submissions must be original, and the use of AI or automated design tools is strictly prohibited.
This is more than a design competition – it’s an opportunity for members to shape how the IAT presents itself to the world and how the sector sees the professionals within it.
