🤹‍♂️ Off-brand Banners

Off-brand banners is a nice way to create banners for large scale events, recurring events or other special occasions. These banners still use our logo, but can be more creative in the design and use of color.

Off-brand event banners may be created for events by approved members. To be approved an off-brand banner creator, present some high quality banners you have created to the Event Manager. The Event Manager will consult with the Tech Department whether or not the submitted banners are in line with the expected quality.
