Friday, January 30	Cindy Uybungco of Curb Grafix has created the winning logo for this summer’s 30th anniversary of LGBT Pride. The design was made with a Chinese brush to achieve a “non-technical, positive look that illustrates the community moving forward,” she notes “and I incorporated a small rising sun into the text as a finishing touch.” The entire community is invited to a kick-off reception for this year’s Pride on Wednesday, March 3 in The Center’s auditorium. Refreshments, snacks and birthday cake will be served. Guests may also offer name suggestions for 2004 award recipients, inquire about volunteer opportunities or get 411 on various other ways to be involved this year.
