A few updates on Toolkit items in the works and answers to a few of your questions:

UCCE Centennial

Although some counties will be marking the centennial of Cooperative Extension as early as next year, ANR will be celebrating with the rest of our national Extension colleagues in 2014.

In advance of that auspicious date, we've been developing a UCCE Centennial logo; that logo is being field tested right now in Mendocino County and at Desert REC.  Once we get a feel from how it's working, we'll roll it out more broadly.

Schwag, swag, tchotchkes, and lagniappes

Given that we're still straining under outdated inventory of tote bags and hats with the old ANR logo, we've decided for the time being not to develop give-away items with the new ANR identity.  If you're developing any of these items on your own - we have a resource guide in the Toolkit for T-shirts, hats, name badges and logo farms.  The design advice there is applicable for most of these kinds of items - if you're ever in doubt, feel free to run your design past me for feedback.

One item you can still order from the old ANR schwag page:  ANR bookmarks.

To seal or not to seal?

I still get frequent requests for guidance on how to use the University of California Seal.  In short - the answer is don't; use of the full seal with the "1868" banner is reserved for the Office of the President.  Please use the approved elements that are provided in this toolkit.

And as always, when in doubt - ask!
