  11. About the logo

  12. The 2011 EAVP Annual Meeting logo was designed by George Lyras. The shield is flanked by two endemic artiodactyls of Crete: the deer (Candiacervus ropalophorus), which lived on Crete during the Late Pleistocene, and the wild goat (Capra aegagrus), which arrived on the island in the Holocene and still occurs in some uninhabited parts of Crete. The logo also depicts the island itself and the official logo of EAVP.
