Volunteer Logo Designer Needed

Organization: http://cet.org/

Do you design logos? In about ten days, we want to launch our vastly upgraded site, but we do not have a logo! We would love to have a simple one, if not when we launch, then soon.

You may have heard of seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, a depression people sometimes get in the winter. Or you may know about ways to treat insomnia that take advantage of the body's internal circadian rhythms. Or perhaps you've read about trends in architecture that foster psychological well-being by applying scientific principles about lighting.

The Center for Environmental Therapeutics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1994 which teaches the public, students, and professionals about the effective use of environmental therapies and ideas that promote alertness, maintain energy, and ward off, or decrease, depression. Many of our members pioneered the techniques described on our site, and used in much of North America, Europe, and elsewhere. If you want, browse our site at cet.org, which offers free, confidential self-assessments you can take in addition to material to read.

Our current problem is that our old logo does not go with our new site, and we need help!
If you would like a challenge, we would love your help and creativity.

Please contact Elizabeth Saenger, Education Director, CET, at saenger@post.harvard.edu if you think you might be interested. Thanks!
