These logos were drawn in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format for Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) by Tyler Tidman VA3DGN. Wherever possible, the Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format is now being used for all generated bitmaps. The chosen fonts, "DejaVu Sans Bold" and "DejaVu Sans" are provided gratis under a free, open-source license.
French translations were provided by Tyler Tidman VA3DGN and verified by Serge Langois VE2AWR and Claude Lalande VE2LCF. Inuktitut translations were provided by Jamie Savikataaq and verified by TBD.
Inspiration for these logos was provided by the SVG version of the US Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) ARES logo posted on Wikipedia by username "McNeight" and the old RAC Logos donated by James Ewen VE6SRV.
