Washington Park Camera Club has a NEW Logo! The 2026 logo update preserves the original 1955 photographer and camera imagery, incorporates the 2013 club colors, and simplifies the design for clear, scalable, and print-ready reproduction. By eliminating background elements and minimizing visual distractions, the logo can be consistently used across all media and backgrounds, while preserving the club’s name in bold and distinct lettering for effective digital and print presentation. The logo is sampled here on white, red, and black backgrounds. The white outer circle enhances definition and separation on similar and darker colors.
