A deputy chief of staff, Samuel Abu Jinapor has denied claims that the recently launched logo of Ghana\u2019s 60th-anniversary celebration was not an original creation.<\/p>\n
According to him, the logo was designed \u201cfrom scratch\u201d by a local designer.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Friday, [February 11, 2017], he told host, Richard Sky that the logo was chosen out of several other samples that were presented.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”nMumdLjdVeUE9D6AYICQEZ049I0AlhRo”]\u201cThis logo was put together from scratch. It is very original. There was back and forth as to how it should look. It is an original artwork. The two symbols we are talking about have absolutely distinguishing features. I think we have a logo which is original and I am clear in my mind about that. There were other logos that came forward, and they were compared with logos elsewhere and some of us came to the conclusion that those do not pass and this particular one has passed.\u201d<\/p>\n Many Ghanaians took to social media on Friday to criticize the government for a seemingly poor job on the logo after it emerged that some parts of the anniversary logo was \u2018lifted\u2019 from the existing logo of an organization abroad.<\/p>\n But according to Mr. Jinapor, it is wrong to say the Ghana@60<\/span> <\/a><\/strong>logo was only copied and not originally designed.<\/p>\n
