[ExilesMembers] Leather Community offers graphic designer opportunity

[DJ Mora]

Hello Exiles members,

Here's an exciting opportunity for all interested members blessed with graphic design skills!  The San Francisco Bay Area Leather Alliance needs a logo.  The Alliance is the new umbrella organization for our Leather Community; it was formed through the merger of The Leather Forum of SF and the SF Inter Club Fund, two long standing stalwarts of the community. The logo chosen will get a great deal of exposure in the area, as a full on branding campaign is planned and the designer will be credited with the design of the new logo in all of the campaign literature!

Anyone who is interested, please shoot me a quick email at membership at theexiles.org so that I can be your advocate to make sure your submission is received and considered.

Good luck!

-D.
