Mike Madero Receives Recognition for a Job Well Done

02/08/10

According to Ian Halliwell, a Senior Research Scientist at Avetec and incoming Chairman of the Gas Turbine Engines Technical Committee (GTETC) of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), “Gas Turbine Engine technology means a lot of things to a lot of people.  As a new technical committee we wanted a logo that would capture and convey the skills and excitement involved in the technology of gas turbine engines in a clear and artistic manner.” 

For Mike Madero, Graphics Designer & Program Manager at Avetec, that description inspired the work of art that has now been adopted as the AIAA Gas Turbine Engines Technical Committee’s logo.  On January 5, 2010 AIAA awarded its GTETC Chairman’s Award to Madero, recognizing him for the new logo which will be used worldwide by the AIAA.  Rarely has an AAIA Technical Committee given such an award to someone who is not a member but they made an exception in Mike’s case.

 
Avetec congratulates Mike Madero and thanks AIAA for its recognition of Mike’s talents.
