EC to explain new logo before end of April

The Electoral Commission says it will offer explanation on the essence of its new logo of the Commission before the end of this month. 

Acting Director, Human Resource at the Commission, Samuel Boadu, who made this known at a capacity-building workshop for media practitioners in Takoradi said the  explanation is to make Ghanaians and stakeholders to appreciate its importance. 

The workshop was expected to educate media practitioners on election reportage and  explain some salient issues in the Constitutional Instrument, CI 91, which will govern the elections. 

The EC unveiled its new logo, which has been heavily criticized by a section of the public and generated a lot of debate. 

The logo comprises eight arrow shapes all pointing to the middle with eight red, green, yellow and whites dots at the bottom, which have been placed on a navy blue background and the Electoral Commission of Ghana inscribed in capital letters below. 

The old logo of the Commission had a crest flanked by two eagles with a black star in the body of the crest. 

The circumference had the inscription of Ghana Electoral Commission while the middle comprised a symbol of a box and a suspended hand dropping a ballot into it.
