The Alabama Community College System (ACCS) Instructional Officers’ Association (IOA) is looking for a new logo and needs your help. We are seeking current ACCS students who can design a creative, innovative, and professional logo.
IOA members are directors, deans, and vice-presidents of instructional areas, such as general academic, health science, and career technical programs. The purpose of the organization is to create, through collaboration, excellent learning environments for students in Alabama community colleges. The logo should be recognizable and help promote the organization’s mission, “to promote the development and advancement of the total educational program in the Alabama Community College System.” Please read below for more details regarding logo design, contest rules, and submission requirements.
