The Electoral Commission has decided to introduce a new logo as part of plans to re-brand the commission.
The EC was yet to officially outdoor the new logo but the attention of journalists were drawn to it at an EC organised media workshop in Accra on Tuesday
The Deputy Chairperson in charge of Finance and Administration, Mrs Georgina Opoku Amankwaa said the logo has been vetted and approved and would soon be unveiled to the general public.
The new logo has a dark-blue background with round coloured circles in shades of green, yellow, white, and red .
Already the new logo has started generating commentary from the public with some saying it lacked a clear concept and too abstract to be understood by ordinary Ghanaians.
Ms Kinna Likimani, a blogger and a member of Ghana Decides, an election reporting project that provides the platform for citizen journalists to publish their reports on elections in Ghana described the logo as “childish” and called on the EC to change it.
Commenting on the logo at the EC workshop, Ms Likimani said “We have things to put in the logo that evokes Ghana and evokes voting. This does not do it. It looks like some children are holding up some balls, ready to go and play basket ball. That is very nice for an organization that runs children programmes and not for the EC”.
