One of these things is not like the other!
AVASLP Logo Contest
An organization with members as intelligent, creative, dynamic, and inventive as ours deserves a logo that reflects those traits. We are issuing a call to all creative type people to capture the ideals and spirit of the AVASLP.
Please submit entries to Ashley Aud by June 26, 2009 . The winning artist will be awarded a fabulous prize (we just don’t know what it is yet) in addition to the prestige that goes along with the title of “Designer of the Mark of the Organization”.
