ZAGNY’s Public Relations Committee of the XVIth North American Zarathushti Congress invites Zarathushtis to design a logo for the Congress, entitled “Zarathushti Existence in the Contemporary World”. We encourage you to use your talents and create a logo for our Congress event, which will be held on August 2-5, 2012 in the New York area.

The logo should be a unique design and should incorporate representation of the theme of our Congress event. Your submission needs to be provided in a JPEG file with a brief description about the representation of the logo.

-Keep it simple. Your logo should be scalable to any size without losing any image quality or visual impact.
-Typography is crucial. Your font’s legibility must be of primary concern. Typefaces are selected for their distinctive character, variety of weights, widths and proportions.
-Your logo should not be more than 2-3 colors.
-Make sure your logo design works well in black and white as well as color.
-A witty slogan or tag line can complement your logo well, imparting a sense of personality.

This logo will be used on all publicity materials including the program for this event. Each contestant may submit up to three different creations.

The winner will be selected by the Public Relations Committee in consultation with the ZAGNY Board. The winner will receive recognition in the event program. All submitted entries will be retained by the ZAGNY Board. The submissions should be made by 30th June 2010 to

Dear Community members
Please join us on April 19^th, 2009 at our kick off meeting to plan for the 2012 Congress sponsored by ZAGNY. We are planning to form various committees that will deal with the myriad necessary tasks that will culminate in a successful congress. The job ahead is enormous and the volunteer spirit of every person in our community is needed to handle what lies ahead.

ZAGNY previously hosted an enormously successful Congress in 1998. It was successful because of the outpouring of enthusiastic support from our community.This time will be no different and the success or failure of an endeavor this large depends on ALL of us.

So, please join us at 12 noon on Sunday, April 19^th at our Darbe Meher in Pomona, NY and please bring your enthusiasm and willingness to work hard.
Best Regards,

Gev Nentin
