New Association Emblem
After a history of tapering vision, mission, and public relations of the Oregon Alumni Association e. V., the OAA finally has a new hallmark. The new association logo has been designed by our designer and public relation specialist Ulrike Kluge. It shows the silhouette of famous Mt. Hood behind a lake and forest trees. The tree’s shape might be recognized by insiders from Oregon license plates. All symbols are pictured within the distinct shape of the state of Oregon. Everything is kept in the characteristic greenish association colors introduced in 2009.
