SIGUCCS 2016 – Elements of our Logo

SIGUCCS2016_LOGO_landscape_transparent-300x148SIGUCCS 2016 promises to be a fantastic adventure in Denver this November! By now, you’ve probably been to our website and noticed the logo and other graphics created by the very talented Jean Tagliamonte from Vassar College. Let’s take a look at the different adventures depicted in the logo:

Denver is a vibrant city located just east of the Rocky Mountains. The logo includes graphics of the city skyline and the breathtaking mountains nearby.

I See What You Mean

Perhaps you don’t recognize the animal in the blue square. I See What You Mean is a 40-foot-tall sculpture of a bear peering inside the Colorado Convention Center next door to our conference hotel, Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver. The bear can be seen from many of the conference spaces at the Embassy Suites!

RAWR!

The last square depicts a dinosaur — we will not be hunting dinosaurs at SIGUCCS 2016. According to Wikipedia, Dinosaur Ridge is “one of the world’s most famous dinosaur fossil localities”, and it’s located about 15 miles from our hotel.
