BREATHE LA and the Tuberculosis Coalition (TB Coalition) of Los Angeles County put out a Call for Entries to Los Angeles colleges and design schools.

Aguilera explained her design process: "While taking the organization's mission and vision (to galvanize commitment to eliminate tuberculosis through education and advocacy) and creating a logo that would be understood globally and be inoffensive to all cultures, I came up with a logo that would incorporate three main figures:
1. People: Tuberculosis affects everyone: Women, Children and Men.
2. Lungs: Tuberculosis affects the lungs."

Aguilera's winning design will debut with publication of TB Coalition E-newsletter and on BREATHE LA website (www.breathela.org). Congratulations, Brenda!
