Merch Design Competition

Words By John Paulo & Su Hui

You are what you wear. SIM-UB has always had a strong school culture and our student body embodies it innately through their spirit, and physically through our school merchandise. Our first-ever merchandise design competition started in August 2020 with the intention of letting every student have an opportunity to showcase their creativity by designing merchandise that represents our school spirit. We received many amazing submissions and are proud to announce the grand winners as voted by you, the student body!

We want to once again thank every participant who has submitted their designs and every student for voting.

Cop your very own limited edition merchandise through our online store on Instagram, or in-person this Spring. We look forward to serving you during our merchandise sale!

MISCELLANEOUS - TOTEBAG

Mildly inspired by Animal Crossing, the big idea behind this tote was to illustrate a straightforward and relatable life as a student of SIM-UB, using everyday habits & scenarios. The main character of this comic is a gender-neutral, curly haired Buffalo based on the Bison. The three scenarios illustrated are: queuing up for a cup of coffee/tea before class, sitting in a chilly classroom, and oversleeping for classes. Our everyday activities are what makes our student life memorable.
