Veterinary board adopts new logo after brief debate, approves option 2
Summary
The California Veterinary Medical Board voted to adopt a new logo design (option 2) after discussion and public comment. Board members debated four options, received two brief public comments and approved the motion in a roll-call vote.
The California Veterinary Medical Board voted to adopt “option 2” as its official logo at its April 15, 2025 meeting after members discussed four design options and heard two brief public commenters.
The board began discussion after staff explained that SB 1526, an omnibus bill that took effect January 1, 2025, added the word “California” to the board’s official name and prompted a logo update. Board members compared four mockups provided by the Department of Consumer Affairs publications and an in-house designer. Several members preferred different options: some favored a compact, single-line layout while others preferred more color contrast. After a short discussion, Board member Doctor Bradbury moved to adopt option 2; Doctor Mark Nunez seconded the motion. The motion passed on a roll-call vote.
Two members of the public spoke during the public-comment period on the logo. Nancy Ehrlich said she preferred option 2. Mark Nunez (speaking as a public commenter later in the meeting) also said he favored option 2. The board then completed a roll-call vote and approved the motion.
The new logo will be used on board letterhead, the website, email signature blocks and other outreach materials. Board members discussed considerations for black-and-white reproduction and for how the design would scale on different media such as websites and printed letterhead.
The board did not change any policies or adopt additional branding rules at the meeting; the action was limited to selecting the design option presented by staff and the design office. Staff said the selected artwork will be finalized with the publications team and the board’s in-house designer.
