Welcome Week 2008 Logo Revealed
By CHAD FULLERTON, MACINSIDERS
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Welcome Week 2008 logo.
Planner representatives from all the different faculties, residences, SOCS, IRC, MSU, FYEO, etc. came together to decide on a theme. The theme this year is "MACcess Granted" and a logo contest was held (our coverage
here) where came up with design ideas. Other possible themes that were under deliberation were: "Mac a Connection", "One Vision, Many Voices," "Mac Lovin', and "McMaster, Frame Your Future." The logo will be placed on all promotional material.
Interestingly, the name "MACCESS" is the same name as the Student Portal Project, which has been in the works for a while and will provide students with a new central location for academic information and services. Those who attended the Orientation Days last year may remember hearing about it. There is apparently no connection between the two names, and was a fluke that they are so similar.
Thanks to our team member, Temara, for the logo.
