Aquarium hobbyists. The Greater Chicago Cichlid Association (GCCA) is a not-for-profit, educational organization dedicated to the care and breeding in captivity of cichlids. Cichlids are a group of approximately 3000 species of freshwater tropical fish found in Africa, Central American and South America.
GCCA was incorporated in 1971. Our 200 members are extreme tropical fish hobbyists whoown—on average—twelve fish tanks. Some members have over 200 fish tanks. GCCA raises money through events like auctions and swap meets and provides programming such as expert speakers for its members. GCCA’s website is at http://www.gcca.net.

Requirements
Must have
- 100% vector output, no placed bitmaps. Vertical and horizontal designs in 1-color and full-color. Would be nice to have a 2-color version as well.
Nice to have
- Cichlids come in a great variety of shapes, colors and sizes. Our members have their favorites and the overall body shape can tip off cichlid hobbyists to the species. Cichlid hobbyists often divide up along Old World (African) cichlids versus New World (Central & South American) cichlids.
- For that reason, it would be acceptable to use a different fish for the horizontal versus vertical logos which would allow us to represent both camps.
Should not have
- Please do not use any outlines or images of marine fish.These images are not representative of our hobby.
