Anniversary Logo
The logo seen on the club’s 75th anniversary posters was chosen as part of a contest that club members organized. The winner and creator of the logo was Karen Estrada, member and dantzari, who is studying architecture and graphic design at UNC, National University of Cordoba.
The typical Basque typography and the image of the facade of a baserri with the Argentine flag and Ikurriña are seen, “express the values of preservation of Basque identity and culture,” the club explains.
