Drone Prize 2014 - 2015/03
The logo of the 2014 Drone Prize depicts a stylized quadcopter, which is the type of aircraft most closely associated with the hobby small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) movement. Its motor nacelles define four fields, each containing an icon that reflects a potentially beneficial application for this technology.
