The Story of Our Updated Logo
In January 2025, AAF proudly introduced a revised logo in honor of our 50th anniversary—a celebration of five decades of commitment to animal welfare. This refreshed design reflects the heart of our renewed mission, values, and vision for the future. It embodies our brand’s personality while aligning with our strategic plan to amplify awareness of our partnerships, impact, and long-term goals. It includes the species we most frequently fund programming for: cats, dogs, and equines. More than just a symbol, our new logo is a one-of-a-kind representation of our unique foundation, designed to build trust and connection with everyone we work with.
If your organization is utilizing the previous version of our logo, please use the link above to access the updated assets and join us in celebrating this exciting milestone.
