<![CDATA[In this article we transmute the logistic distribution using quadratic rank transmutation map to develop a transmuted logistic distribution. The quadratic rank transmutation map enables the introduction of extra parameter into its parent model to enhance more flexibility in the analysis of data in various disciplines such as biological sciences, actuarial science, finance and insurance. The mathematical properties such as moment generating function, quantile, median and characteristic function of this distribution are discussed. The probability density functions of the minimum and maximum order statistics of the transmuted logistic distribution are established and the relationships between the probability density functions of the minimum and maximum order statistics of the parent model and the probability density function of the transmuted logistic distribution are considered. The parameter estimation is done by the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The flexibility of the model in statistical data analysis and its applicability is demonstrated by using it to fit relevant data. The study is concluded by demonstrating that the transmuted logistic distribution performs better than its parent model. ]]>
