NATA Logo

User login

	Way back in 1952, a four-man committee selected this visual to be the emblem of NATA, and it more or less endured (with occasional minor tweaks) for several decades. The committee included Chair Jack Cramer; Dwayne Dixon of Indiana University; Frank Medina of the University of Texas; and Dean Nesmith of the University of Kansas.
	In 1984, the board decided to polish the original logo. Professor Robert Head, chair of the Art Department at Murray State University in Kentucky, was hired to do the work.
	By 1991, the time had come to establish a different visual presentation. The board contracted with Dallas-based artist Patti Shepelak to come up with a new direction, which included the laurel wreath.
	In keeping with efforts to reinvigorate the association, NATA graphic designer Brian Hawkins created this modern image. The form in motion, combined with our tagline of "Health Care for Life & Sport." portrays a dynamic medical profession without pigeonholing it; the clean lines also serve to focus attention on the name of our association.

The NATA logo may not be used by third parties.
