In light of the recent change in name, the Advertising & Graphic Design Association is now to be known as…. well… the Graphic Design Association. of North Carolina.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As AGD departments throughout the state navigate the change to the new program name, we thought it best to bring our own identity up to speed to reflect the change. Same student-designed, type-driven brand mark with an updated twist! Hope you like it! Ask an officer for free stickers!\u00a0<\/div>\n
