A volunteer-run organization such as the Ottawa PC Users' Group requires the efforts of a great number of people if it is to be a success. Perhaps the greatest reason for the continued existance of the Group since 1983 is the tremendous number of people who have given of their time over the years. Following is a list of people who have helped to make the OPCUG what it is today. If you know of any errors or omissions in the list, please let us

Mary Seal: Original OPCUG Logo

Mary created the logo using CorelDraw in 1996. The 'freehand' look was achieved using a mouse, not a graphics tablet and pen. The logo was originally for the club's newsletter 'The Ottawa PC News'. It has also been adopted for use on the website, club stationery, T-shirts, etc.

Chris Taylor: 40th anniversary Logo

Chris revamped the logo in 2022 for the club's 40th anniversary with new fonts and the addition of "for over 40 years".

Chris Taylor: OPCUG@OPL Logo

In 2024 Chris created a new logo by combining the OPCUG logo with the Ottawa Public Library logo. He superimposed the OPL logo on the OPCUG logo in a creative watermark style. This logo is used in Upcoming Events on our home page and on other websites where OPCUG presentations at the OPL are posted.
