WFPI Logo Announced
Dr. Ines Boechat, President of the newly formed World Federation of Paediatric Imaging, announced the results of the logo contest on January 26, 2012.
The logo contest was promoted to the memberships of the four founding Societies: AOSPR, ESPR, SLARP and the SPR. All four founding Societies were represented in the 11 logo submissions.
The two rounds of voting were restricted to the two Board members from each of the founding Societies.
Votes were submitted to both the ESPR and to SPR offices for tallying.
The winning WFPI logo was submitted by Dr. Gloria Soto representing SLARP. The artist is Dr. Soto’s daughter Francisca Soto who is an art student. Watch these pages for news about the launch of the WFPI website.
