Logo

The RVTEC Logo was designed by Thomas C. Wilson, Jr.and officially adopted at the 1997 annual meeting.

The graphics are in ZIP format - for some reason if they are left as WMF files Netscape tries to display them as opposed to saving them to disk and chokes. Once downloaded, they can be unzipped and imported directly into Microsoft Word. Since they are vector graphics, they can be scaled up or down as desired with no loss of resolution.
