Haiti University Logo Design

This is what Université André E. Laroche was looking for in their logo design

Université André E. Laroche is a small university in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We offer academic courses to earn a Bachelor's degree (Diplome or License here) as well as some vocation courses to earn a certificate.
