EC New Logo: Wrong Timing, Unprofessional, Increase In Expenditure.

A new story trending Ghana indicates that, the Official Electoral Commission - Ghana, has finally approved and endorsed it new logo. And the masses seems not to be happy about such move by the commission.

Hearing the story today reveals that most of our leaders are only perpetuating themselves with that five letter words, POWER.

I can now testify, rumors in Ghana stands to be true in the later. This is a whole state, country, nation and institutions like the Electoral Commission is very sensitive in the eyes of the masses. 

The question, most are asking is, WHY THIS TIME? Its may sound unpleasant though but I guess the chairperson of the commission in a way needs to hear the plea of the masses. 

What worry me most is that, the deputy chairperson or whatever announce to the whole public that the EC is not after a new logo and some few days later they officially announce again to us about their happiness of having the new logo making them officially an independent institution. An institution which is run directly from the coffers of the economy. 

In fact this is the very first time I have seen a country's institution's logo with no symbol of identity and they claim is the best. A logo borrowed from a foreign institution, with same design and symbols which is not in anyway related to election. In fact it portrays nothing about election and doesn't speak well of the country.

The Electoral Commission says its new logo, which has generated hue and cry, represents a unified purpose and vision, and ultimately demonstrates the Commission’s independence he Electoral Commission says its new logo, which has generated hue and cry, represents a unified purpose and vision, and ultimately demonstrates the Commission’s independence.

“The whole identity represents a unified common purpose and vision and demonstrates our independence as an institution,” the Commission explained in the brochure.

he new logo, which emerged in April this year, was criticized by Ghanaians, as they wondered why the EC was introducing at an election year. The logo, which comes with blue-black background with what appears to be eight abstract humans with their hands up.

It later came up that the new logo looks like that of a Turkish educational institution; something that caused a section of Ghanaians to demand an explanation from the designers on whether the logo is original, copied or modified for the EC.

Many interpretations were given to the controversial logo with some claiming it is an embodiment a wheel of fortune and that the colours represent the various political parties.

However, the Commission has given a different interpretation of the new logo, which approval is unclear. Prior to its official unveiling, the logo was used in its official brochures.

The EC explains that the circles in the logo represents unity, singular and unified in its purpose which it said is “our democracy”, adding the blue of the circle also represents the stability and independence of the Commission.

“The inward moving arrows reflect all the people of Ghana and equally coming together for the common purpose- the right to select their political leadership,” the Commission added.

The red, gold and green colorus, it said, represents Ghana.

Increase In Expenditure.

Now for expenditure, just the logo changed alone will affect most of it services.

For example, all assets across the country with the old logo will be branded to suit the new. Also various document may be modified before it us. 

Which will definitely result in an increase in expenditure from basically the tax payers money.

Ahh anyway this Ghana and equality has a mark.
So God guide and help us.
