New Logo

July 10, 2020 by Alfredo Olvera

The Dolphin Democrats Board of Directors is  excited to announce and present the organization’s updated logo.

We wish that when any LGBTQ+ person whether they are a Democrats or just part of the community at-large sees this logo, they feel represented and hopefully get encouraged to join us in the fight for equality and continue the legacy of those before us.

We would like to thank the talented Landon St. Gordon for designing the log and Mike Worley at MDWCOMM ( https://mdwcommunications.com/) for their contribution to our organization. We will be forever grateful.
