Logo

 

 

Conventional Lung X-Ray




 







 


Over the past 15 years, the EuroPACS logo has evolved and changed several times. The original design by Profesor Heinz Lemke and his team in the early Eighties was for a long time the recognized logo of the EuroPACS association. In 1997, the board of directors of EuroPACS reviewed the original logo and many of those that had been created for different EuroPACS annual meetings. Comments and criticism were collected for a redesign. This page is a summary of how the various suggestions were appraised.

 
 First logoOriginal logo created by H. Lemke
  • Too complex, too many details
  • Too difficult to display in low resolution (Web Pages)
  • Must be upgraded to include political changes
  • The "Euro" seems to be detached and unrelated to the logo
  • No direct relation with "medical" or "imaging" themes

 
Geneva
	    logoEuroPACS'94 (Geneva)
  • Slight changes in perspectives
  • Integration of "Euro" in the logo
  • Used only for the meeting in Geneva

	    logoEuroPACS'96 (Heraklion)
  • Too many details (map)
  • Stars for active "PACS" projects ? or previous meetings?
  • No pictural originality. Lacks visual impact.

BAZIS logoNews Letter logo (Bazis-Hiscom)
  • Simple design with good visual impact
