Formerly known as the Artois Championships before InBev with the Lawn Tennis Association in September, the Aegon Championships will be held at Queen's Club in London June 8-14 2009.
Aegon's five-year £30m sponsorship of British tennis will commence in January.
Steve Clode, director of marketing and customer strategy at Aegon UK, said: "As the first ever lead partner of British tennis, Aegon will be helping develop the sport at all levels.
"The design competition allows us to provide a developing artist with the opportunity to showcase their talent to the world of sports fans."
At last year's tournament, French Open champ Rafael Nadal beat Novak Djokovic to claim his first grass court title, joining McEnroe, Becker, Sampras and Roddick as Queen's Club winners.
