Tagline and Logo Deadline’s Extended

Ever thought CRRA could use a new logo? A catchy tagline? CRRA has had the same logo since its inception thirty years ago, and it's never had an official tagline. Now's your chance to take the organization's identity into the 21st century. The CRRA Board is now accepting logo and tagline concepts from you, our members. Here are the details:

TAGLINE:
Have an idea for a slogan that encapsulates CRRA's mission? The Board has come up with a few, included here to get the ball rolling. Please email your idea(s) to mail to: tagline@crra.com.
Please feel free to tweak one of these or submit your own:

  1. The End of Waste as We Know It
  2. Meeting Tomorrow's Waste Challenges Today
  3. Because California Hasn't Got Time to Waste
  4. Resources Are Our Middle Name
  5. Redefining Waste

LOGO:
If you have a concept for a new CRRA logo, please submit it to the board. Rough sketches are fine. Please send your idea electronically to logo@crra.com or by mail c/o Shana Levy, Gigantic Idea Studio, 580 Second Street, Oakland, CA 94607.

Deadline: has been extended until May 17, 2005 at 5:00 PM.

Persons submitting the winning concepts for both tagline and logo will received a free registration to the 2005 CRRA Annual Conference in Los Angeles, July 10-13, 2005.

Openings: Goodwill in the SF Bay Area is opening up a new computer recycling and reuse facility in San Mateo, Calif (near SF) that will likely be a model program for several other Goodwills around the country. The new program is called ReCompute. They're looking for an experienced recycling program manager and some people to do refurbishing as well. The manager position pays in the $40K to $45K range and refurbishers will get $15 - $17 per hour.
