Following the criticism of the first design, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, has ordered a logo design competition.
The competition is slated to hold between 19th of April to 26th of April.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the governor assented to a bill adopting a new logo for the state.
However, some Nigerians, including indigenes of the state, faulted the quality of the logo claiming it was poorly designed and unfit to serve as the state’s symbol.
The statement read;
“Those submitting a design are to take into account the prototype logo in terms of its contents and style.
“The submission can be made in person both soft and printed copy to the Office of the Commissioner, Ministry of Information and Public Enlightenment.
“Entries can also be submitted online via emailus@osunstate.gov.ng or statelogo@osunstate.gov, with bio data and contact details of the designer. The subject should be with the subject “OSUN STATE LOGO”.
The statement further disclosed that the best design will be announced on April 28 and will be unveiled on April 30th during the new edition of Ipade Imole.
Commenting on the one week competition, Governor Adeleke noted as follows: “As a listening leader, I have asked that we open the change of logo to more public input through this one week competition”
