A new logo for the OSMT was recently created to update the Society’s image and to strengthen the unique identity of our membership. The hexagon was selected because of its relevance to laboratory science. The hexagon is a universal symbol often used to illustrate many chemical formulae and molecular structures. Scale and motion were achieved with the arrangement of three hexagons to relate to the science that happens in the lab. A trillium, to represent Ontario, shapes in the white space between the hexagons.
