The team from 2NCR FM have moved to a new station, developed a new weekly program, and have new presenters. Now there’s just one thing left to do – find a new name and logo.

The station is running a competition to find the perfect name and logo to promote 2NCR FM 92.9 throughout the Northern Rivers.

2NCR presenter Vanessa Ekins said the station is looking for a new tag to brand the station, much like Bay FM in Byron or COW FM in Casino, and a logo that reflects the local environment. She said people could use the Wilsons River or Bundjalung culture as inspiration.

“We’re hoping people will come up with some creative ideas – we’re looking for something catchy that reflects where we are in the world. As an example, the goanna is the Bundjalung totem, so it could incorporate that,” Vanessa said. “We don’t want anything too complicated. We want something that’s simple and bold that can go on letterheads and stickers and makes us instantly recognisable as Lismore’s community radio station.”

For the last eight weeks an EnviTE Work for the Dole team has been busily painting the walls and ceiling of the station white in preparation for a new mural that may well incorporate the new name and/or logo.

2NCR stands for North Coast Radio, and many people may not know it is the oldest regional radio station in Australia.
The deadline for entries is September 25 and the winner will receive a microphone worth around $200.
