Logo Design Brief
We need a logo for our research and conservation centre currently being developed called "Sharks of the Atlantic: Research and Conservation Centre" or ShARCC. This centre, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, will comprise of a website to start and then a physical centre at Dalhousie University sometime in the near future. The goal of this centre is that it will be the hub or central location where people can find out more about what we are doing, but also what everyone else is doing across Atlantic Canada for sharks!
Updates
Thank you to everyone who posted their design! We are currently reviewing all submitted designs and will make a decision in the next week or so.
