[Nfb-krafters-korner] is there a new logo for NFB?

Sat Jul 12 06:39:36 UTC 2014

Thanks for the detailed description, Lisamaria.

If a logo is designed for our division, it should be the official name and
not the nickname we/Joyce chose for the listserv. Our official name is
National Federation of the Blind Krafters Division or NFB Krafters Division
may be used. Krafters is spelled with a K and not a C. It is also plural NOT
possessive (no apostrophe).

Sorry, I have an English degree and also started my college career in
graphic design (two years) before switching to a degree in Photography, so
it is in my nature to point these things out <smile>.
