Design Subcommittee

The GLPA Design Subcommittee is a standing committee within GLPA's Publications Committee. The purpose of the Design Subcommittee is to work with all committees and subcommittees to coordinate consistent brand related graphics and enhance the aesthetic quality of all design elements.

In addition to designing several variations of this new logo, the Design Subcommittee prepared a GLPA Logo and Brand Guidelines document to define the approved parameters of this new design, including design variations, colors, use guidelines, fonts, and usage examples.

Those who wish to use the GLPA logo to prepare forms, documents, publications, web pages, conference materials, or merchandise must adhere to these guidelines. For a copy of the GLPA Logo and Brand Guidelines and/or to request access to logo image files, please contact GLPA's Publications Chair.
