Welcome to the O∆K Keynote.
 
Here's a look at what's happening in O∆K:
The Circle Magazine
 
Cover 2012-2
The summer issue of The Circle magazine is now available online

This issue celebrates a busy year in O∆K. We gathered for the 47th Biennial Convention this summer in Charlotte, NC, elected new officers for the Society and unveiled a new brand.  We added fifteen new Circles last academic year and 112 Circles were honored with Circle Recognition Awards.  You can also view the outstanding members of the Society who were recognized with National Awards and see the winners of the 2012 Graduation Photo Contest.

Keep in mind that while this issue of The Circle is digital, we still want to share the great things our members are doing, so send me your stories.  The deadline for the fall issue of The Circle is September 15, 2012.

A New Brand
 
Vertical Logo - gif
During the 2012 National Leadership Summit & Convention, held in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Omicron Delta Kappa Society revealed a new brand. 
 
With the new brand, we have a new logo family that can be viewed in the Branding Standards Guide. This guide tells you exactly how the logo can and should be put to use, so please download and read it first. The logo family includes three logos: the official formal logo you see here; a horizontal version that can be used on stationary and envelopes; and a informal stacked O∆K. You may download these logos below or check the Officer References section of the website for more communications materials. If you would like to request the black & white version of any of the three logos, please email Tracy Lyons
 
Remember to please download and read the Branding Standards Guide before putting the new brand to use.
