Asian CineVision,
Inc. Launches New Corporate Logo and Website
New York, NY – Asian
CineVision, Inc. (ACV), a nonprofit media arts organization
dedicated to promoting and preserving Asian and Asian
American media expressions, today unveiled a new corporate
logo and website to reinforce its mission to bring greater
social and cultural awareness of the Asian American
experience to diverse audiences by encouraging and supporting
the preservation development of Asian film and video
arts.
The new logo features three
shapes, each in a different shade of red, interlocked
together to form a soft-edged triangle. The new tagline,
"Moving Imaginations Since 1976," reflects
ACV's support of Asian and Asian American media works
since its inception.
"For over 25 years,
ACV has provided a formal showcase of films by emerging
and experienced filmmakers of Asian descent through
the annual Asian American International Film Festival
(AAIFF) – the first and longest-running festival
of its kind in the United States," said Risa Morimoto,
Executive Director of ACV. "The new logo and tagline
represents the organization¹s commitment to growth and
to provide creative programs and services to provoke,
inspire, and challenge imaginations."
ACV's new website (www.asiancinevision.org)
provides easy access to news and information about special
screenings and events, the annual Asian American International
Film Festival (AAIFF) and national tour, selected articles
from CineVue Journal, and links to media resources.
Later this year, it will also showcase short media productions
by artists and a "behind the scenes" look
at their work.
"We are excited and
proud of our achievements," said John Woo, ACV
Chairman of the Board of Directors. "Our founders
envisioned an organization that would empower and strengthen
Asian and Asian American media artists. Today, we are
recognized as a leading organization in providing valuable
resources to support Asian media works." Asian
CineVision, Inc. (ACV) is a not-for-profit national
media arts organization dedicated to the promotion and
