[Chapters-l] Chapter leaders: chapter logos

[Aaron Louie]

I agree with Janet on this point... The Pacific Northwest chapter
currently has no official logo, and I'd love to have some guidelines
for designing a new one.

Once guidelines have been established, it would also be very helpful
to have vector source files for constructing the new logos. Standard
file formats for these are .ai or .eps, which allow lossless
reproduction and large format printing.
