New Logo, Same Mission

With the launch of the new MarylandPest.org website, the MSPCA Board of Directors and staff thought now is the best time to modernize the association’s logo. The intent of the logo refresh was to maintain a visual connection to the Maryland State flag and improve the brand identity of MSPCA.

We encourage members of the association to download the new logo and add to your website, business cards, and email signatures. Just visit the My Profile section of MarylandPest.org by logging in.
