University Creates Logo for
Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties’ Big Casino Night Event
Palm Beach County, FL – June 5, 2012 – Keiser University
has created yet another excellent logo for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm
Beach and Martin Counties (BBBS). This stunning logo is for one of Big Brothers
Big Sisters’ upcoming events – Casino Night.
Casino Night will be held on October 6, 2012, at BallenIsles Country
Club in Palm Beach Gardens. It will be a special event where guests can enjoy
hors d’oeurves, cocktails, various slot games, craps, and much more. There will
also be a raffle and an auction. All proceeds from Casino Night will go toward
funding Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties’
programs. Those interested in attending
the event must call 561-727-3450 to reserve a spot, as space is limited. And
for anyone who desires to help, BBBS is also looking for event sponsors and
donations for the auction and raffle prizes.
The logo chosen for Casino Night was designed by Alexis Pineda, who
hopes to work as a graphic designer after graduating. “It is such an honor to get accepted by
BBBS,” she said. “It makes me think about how powerful art can be, and how it
can be used to promote and draw attention to great causes.”
BBBS’s partnership with Keiser University provides college students
with exposure and experience while also helping the nonprofit organization enormously. Stuart Duvall, Graphic Design instructor at
Keiser University, enjoys working with BBBS as well. It gives his students valuable real-life
experience and the opportunity to work with a business, which can be invaluable
in these times.
Photo Caption: The Casino Night logo was designed by Keiser
University student Alexis Pineda. Alexis has been a student at Keiser
University for one year and is scheduled to graduate in 2013.
