Comittees

Also, if you have nice ideas or need something, you can ask them if they can do it for you.

  • Designing a new logo or Saltare house style
  • Updating the Saltare website
  • Designing printed promo (flyers, posters, stickers, etc.)
  • Designing Saltare merchandise (sweaters, pants, socks, hats, keychains, etc.) (and ensuring that they are being produced and distributed).
