The Greater Valley Glen Council is elected by the stakeholders in the Greater Valley Glen area to serve as a neighborhood advisory board to the Los Angeles City government.  We are volunteer homeowners, renters, business people and representatives from schools, churches and non-profit groups. Our goals include, but are not limited to, improving public safety and protecting the quality of life in our neighborhood.

3.  Artwork must be no smaller than 2” x 2” and no larger than 4-1/2” wide x 2-1/2” height.

4.  A copy of the map of Greater Valley Glen is attached to assist in determining your eligibility and to encourage applicants to design a logo that encompasses the spirit of the all of the areas within our council boundaries, which includes Valley Glen and portions of North Hollywood.  Logos from other Neighborhood Councils are attached for use as visual guides only.

NOTE:  The logo must NOT contain the word “Neighborhood” to avoid confusion with the Valley Glen Neighborhood Association (VGNA) which has its own logo.
