Kangaroo Poster Contest

This is the logo designed for Le Kangourou sans frontières by Raoul Raba, painter and sculptor, winner of the Prix de Rome in 1955.

  • In the early years of the SCM Kangaroo, the graphic image was a variation of the official design, the most notable of which was a work by students of the Institut Bernat Metge in Barcelona, led by the unforgettable teacher Montserrat Rasclosa.
  • Then, at the end of 2001, in the context of Kangaroo-2002, the first poster contest was called to choose the design that would serve as the identifier for our test for the 2002 and 2003 editions.
  • Subsequently, triennial calls for the Kangaroo Poster Contest have been held for this purpose. You can see a detailed historical review on the’old Kangaroo website and also have the highlights on this page, where, if you click on the images, you can view them at a higher resolution.
