Description: These images were taken for the December 10th, 1978 edition of the Tribune weekly newspaper, both of which were published. The captions read:

“Rob Macgregor holds the entries which won him first prize in both Radio 2ZA's and Fishbowl's competitions. With him is announcer Phil Langdon - and behind them are some of the hundreds of entries submitted in the radio station competition.”

“Decisions, decisions… Fishbowl management committee members Marcia Taiwhati and Alec Gage try to sort out the winning entries.”

An excerpt from the article read: “Two separate logo competitions have just been decided in Palmerston North - and Rob Macgregor won both of them. The commercial artist and designer has just been announced as the winner of Fishbowl's competition to find a new logo for itself, and only a week or. so previously he was announced as the winner of Radio 2ZA's competition to design a logo for the radio station's use.
About 30 entries were received for the fortnight-long Fishbowl competition, which was conducted with the help of the "Tribune". Rob's winning entry will feature on the exterior of Fishbowl's new youth centre, in the Maori Battalion hall, Palmerston North. His design will also be featured on promotional tee-shirts.”

These images form part of the Manawatū Evening Standard Negative Collection. Unfortunately, only negatives between April and December 1978 are held.
