HLA Logo
What do Motorola, Samsung, Dataware, Profit Systems Inc., Oxford Business Schools, ABC Alliance, and ASAP Sports MGM / United Artists Pictures (Los Angeles) and Turner Entertainment (New York) and hundreds of other top firms have in common with HLA?
HLA announces a logo designed by top graphics firm. The logo was designed by the same firm that conceptualized and developed logos for Ted Turner, and a lot of firms in Hollywood. The logo reflects Hawaii as well as the association. The board felt it was a needed change! It's kind of exciting and fresh. The board announced further plans for t-shirts and other items depicting the logo. Stay tuned!!
Other identity trademarks announced for HLA included the HLAWEB.org logo.
