The Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) has unveiled a new logo that will be implemented for the 2015-16 academic year.

GPAC Commissioner Corey Westra announced the new logo that will be phased in over the summer and throughout the next year in the GPAC at its member schools.

Recently completing its 15th year as an affiliated conference of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) this is the first logo change for the GPAC after 15 years of conference operations.  The original logo was implemented when the conference began in 2000 and was designed by former Commissioner Paul Cark.

“As we turn the page to year 16 of the GPAC, and add a new member, the time was right for a new logo and branding change in the GPAC.  However, we are not losing many of the facets of the original logo which was created 15 years ago,” said Commissioner Corey Westra.  “Our first logo served us very well as a conference as the letters GPAC have become our identity as a league.  I want to thank Paul Clark for getting this conference off to a great start in 2000 and we hope to continue to carry out the strong tradition of Academic and Athletic Excellence in the GPAC.”
