We’d also like three different versions of the logo for use on our three main initiatives: anti-litter, education, and greening. Please send submissions to logo@passyunk.org. Please include your name, your preferred e-mail address, and your website if you have one. We will happily allow multiple submissions.

We ask logos be submitted as scalable vector graphics, EPS or Illustrator file format, and also as JPGs. Kindly outline any fonts.

The entry must be your original design, and not a copy that may be subject to copyright laws. That would be awful.
