CENTENNIAL LOGO APPEARS ON TIMES SQUARE SCREEN

How the Logo Came to Be
By Gary Szymczak

I was asked by Nancy Harper to create the logo for our Centennnial. After giving it a lot of thought the slogan which is "100 Years of Service to Mankind" and never forgetting 9/11, the idea was to begin with the statue at AKC which is dog New York that was given after 9/11.

I  replaced the rock with the globe, which represents service to the world, added  the heart which obviously shows the heart of the GSD and then asked my  pre-press/creative people to assist with the final touches. I'm proud of the  fact that I was allowed to be a part of history and will never forget being a  part of the Centennial.
