Current HOT Logo
HOT began using the "all red" logo in 2016. This is the current logo that should be used for all printed and online communications.

History of the HOT Logo: The competition
The logo was decided by means of a logo design competition which took place in December 2010. It was organised by Harry Wood and judged by Mikel Maron, Kate Chapman, Robert Soden, Nicolas Chavent, and Schuyler Erle.

The artists were willing to sign over rights to the images to HOT in accordance with the rules of the competition, and they most likely willing to permit use and re-use elsewhere, however these logos should be considered copyrighted unless and until they state otherwise (Contact them to ask) Currently logo designs are available presented as two pages, numbered by artist, but these links are temporary. We'll upload them properly as separate files to the wiki.
