Vet Gazette Logo Competition and Call for Submissions!
The Vet Gazette is beyond excited to announce our next creative endeavor!!
Do you love coming up with new ideas? Are you good with graphic design or illustration? We want YOU, our SAVMA members, to design a logo for The Vet Gazette!!!!
We are offering $200 to the winning design that will be displayed on our website and on our Facebook page as the permanent profile picture. Right now you’re probably wondering, “What should I create?” That’s for you to decide! All we at TVG ask is that the design incorporates SAVMA. I know that seems vague, but that’s exactly the point! We want you – our SAVMA members – to decide what The Vet Gazette means and how our logo should look.
