  CONGRADULATIONS TO NAVNEET SAMRA THE WINNER OF OUR

2010 LAW DAY LOGO CONTEST

Inspiration behind her logo:

I chose this design because it was different. The Mallet represents “legal”, “court” etc.   The quote “Justice is Served” represents that this clinic fights hard until justice is served for those that deserve it.  The person at the bottom holding the earth shows that you guys care for everyone and are not going to turn anyone down.

 

I hope you like it.
