New Logo Announcement!
As The DC Center enters a new chapter of its history with our upcoming relocation, the team has been reflecting on the ways we connect with the community. Brand identity and communications are an important part of any organization, but especially one like ours, that seeks to build meaningful relationships with community members and leaders, ensuring social justice and liberation of all communities are a part of our efforts.
With this in mind, we have collaborated with the creatives at Black Digital to design a logo that truly reflects The DC Center, our work, and the direction we are headed. We are thrilled to share our new logo with you in time for DC Pride this weekend.
Please stop by our booth at the Capital Pride festival to talk with us about our new logo and the exciting changes we have in store for the Fall. We will also have temporary tattoos available with our new logo so you can wear your pride!
