New Logo!
As many of you may have noticed, we have new logo! After many years of using our current logo, we have decided to upgrade and reached out to a deaf artist, Kristina Guévremont under her business “Twelve Pixels” and had her to design us a logo matching to modern times. The Board of Directors are thrilled to have this excellent logo to represent GVAD for many more years to come.
