Frequently
Asked Questions from DECA Images
With the
launch of the new DECA logo, there have been many questions
about DECA Images products. Here are just a
few:
- Will DECA folios, binders and
other materials with the older DECA logos continue to be
accepted?
Yes. DECA encourages you to use these products and your current
supply of other items, such as stationery, during our transition.
However, please incorporate DECA's new logo on all new
materials.
- Is the DECA blazer
changing?
During the beginning of our transition, the DECA blazer will not
change. If and when a new design is introducted, an exchange
program for the patches will also be introduced.
