If you aren’t following us on Twitter, our fan on Facebook, or our contact on Flickr, you may not have noticed, but we have a new birthday suit.

That’s right, our logo went through its own “What Not to Wear” and came out on the other side looking all shiny and new.

Our new logo reflects not only STA, but also our customers. We know you guys aren’t the traditional guide book tourists. You guys like to venture off the path a little bit (or a lot) and really experience each stop on your journey.

And the new logo is just the start. If you check out your local STA Travel branch, you’ll see some awesome new brochures with AMAZING photography (seriously, you could frame this stuff). Pretty soon, STATravel.com will have a new look, too.

But even with a new look, we are still the same STA Travel you know and love that brings you the travel experiences you want at an awesome price.

Birthday Presents

Since we are now 30 years old, have a new logo and are still bringing you guys the best in student and youth travel, we decided to celebrate by giving away some awesome trips to add some stamps to your passport:

• 30 Days of Free Travel – Each day in April, we are giving away a free trip to a different destination around the world. To win, all you have to do is visit http://www.statravel.com/freetravel to enter.
• Free Tickets to Fiji – On our Facebook page, we are giving away free tickets to Fiji for becoming a fan of our page and then submitting a ridiculous photo with our new logo. Thanks to Air Pacific for the hook-up.
• Two Tickets Around the World – First, you have to check out this hilarious video. Second, you have to make your own video of the most ridiculous thing you would do for free travel. Third, submit your video as a response. Lastly, subscribe to our channel on YouTube. The best video gets two round-the-world tickets courtesy of STA Travel and Air New Zealand.
