STC members in good standing may use a specialized version of the STC logo beginning in 2010. Renewing members will have access to several logos in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format to acknowledge their status as member, senior member, associate fellow, or fellow.
Members may use one of these specialized logos—not the standard STC logo—on business cards, personal stationery, or websites to proudly indicate their connection to the Society.
According to wavemetric.com, the PNG format is ideal for web use but can also be used for high quality printing. It is much higher quality than the older GIF format and is supported by all major browsers. For high quality printing, members can choose to export at high resolution.
A task force of members developed the concept of the specialized logo at the direction of the Board. The group chose to incorporate chevrons (^) into the design: one for member, two for senior member, three for associate fellow, and four for fellow.
“I am so pleased that we can finally offer these logos to members,” STC President Cindy Currie told the Board at a recent meeting. “Members have requested a way to show their pride in being a member of the Society for while now. I very much appreciate the work of the task force led by Nicky Bleiel and Rich Maggiani that provided these new logos.” The design of the specialized logo was donated by Associate Fellow Patrick Hofmann, who continues to support the work of the board and STC in so many ways. Thank you Patrick! Member logos are available on the STC website for downloading.
