New CHGPA Logo

Edward I. Torre

After months of arduous deliberations, the CHGPA board has finally selected a new logo! A preliminary decision was made at the Joint Board meeting (while the MHGA board members were not actually allowed to vote, their comments and opinions were quite valuable), and the logo was eventually finalized over the next two days following a small blizzard of e-mail and instant messages.

Almost a dozen entries were submitted, but in the end, one entry was universally considered far and away the best choice to represent our bi-wingual organization. The board hopes that you'll like it as much as they do. If you don't like it, then the board would like you to take into account that, at the time of the judging, two guys from Budweiser showed up with a push cart full of FREE BEER, and started handing out as much as we could drink of it! (Which actually only turned out to be about two bottles. For the whole table.)

That not withstanding, the board did eventually reach a consensus, and the result will grace our newsletter and website from now on.
