Our 2026 Logo
In April we held the Drawn Together by Motherhood Art Contest. Artists of all ages submitted incredible work, and the public voted for their favorites. The winning design—“Growing Outside the Lines,” by Kaitlyn and Evelyn, a mother-and-daughter duo—is our 2026 logo for She Means Business and will appear throughout the event.
