WHAT A TURNOUT (with a tie)! Please vote one more time for your favourite GASP logo choice here: https://forms.gle/PPwKYvUrHB8k9uXD9! To minimize the chances of another tie, this poll will have the following three changes: 1. Only PSL students may vote in the poll 2. Only one vote may be cast per student 3. Ranked voting (order your choices by preference)... While the votes will remain anonymous to the public, we are asking for your name, e-mail, and lab to ensure that only PSL students are voting (and that they are only voting a single time). We are aware that there is probably some political joke to be made about all of this. The former logo is included in this poll - if you prefer it to remain as the official logo, feel free to vote for it! Out of the new logo submissions, the one with the most votes will still be considered the contest winner. The submitter will receive a $30 e-Gift card of their choice and a T-shirt featuring their new logo design! Upon the upcoming rollout of GASP's merchandise, options to purchase merchandise featuring the contest winner as well as the original logo will both be available.
