NFMYAC's New Logo!

MYAC logoThe winning design created by Christie Wang (Gr. 12 A.N. Myer S.S.) 

The first NFMYAC logo was designed almost 20 years ago! That’s longer than any of the current committee members have been on this planet. With a desire for a fresh new look, NFMYAC launched a logo contest in March of this year. Open to all post-secondary students across the city, the contest was a huge success: the team was overjoyed by the variety and quality of the submissions. The logos were submitted for blind review by Mayor Jim Diodati and NFMYAC. On May 5, the winning logo was officially adopted.

This contest is now closed. Thanks to all who contributed their designs!
