THIS IS THE EPS logo inside a ZIP file
In 2014, on our 25th Anniversary, we commissioned an update of our logo from a professional designer. The old clip art and a bit of Arial had served us well, but it was time for change. The Red is #ed145a and the Green #03953f. The font used is this, metro gothic Regular
