• CFLA/FCAB: Wordmark/Graphic Identity Challenge: "As operations of the new Canadian Federation of Library Associations/ Fédération canadienne des associations de bibliothèques (CFLA-FCAB) are commencing we are looking for some assistance at creating our graphic identity. We are asking member associations and libraries that have in-house graphics talent to spend a bit of time creating a concept for the Board to review."
