We have a new logo
MATURA has worked with Laura Pellman, "As You Wish Designs" to come up with a new agency logo that continues to use the widely used community action huggy heart and tagline. This will make branding easier for custom-made shirts and other items while still convey the message of hope.
The “Huggy Heart” logo was adopted in 2002 by the National Community Action Partnership and is still used today at the national, state, and local levels.
