Team Department of
Design’s Logo Gets Selected to Mark S. Korea-Singapore 50th
Anniversary
A team of students
from the K-Arts’s Department of Design won an open call for a logo design, co-arranged
by the Singapore Embassy in South Korea and the South Korean Embassy in
Singapore, to celebrate the 50 years of partnership between the two countries.
The winning design
features the number “50,” symbolizing the two countries’ 50th
anniversary, with elements and colors inspired by the national flags of South
Korea and Singapore.
For two months, K-Arts
and Singapore’s Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) conducted collaborative
workshops to design the logo. During the workshops, the two institutions strengthened
their friendship through cultural exchanges and discussions while brainstorming
design ideas.
The final selection
was made from student submissions after screening by design experts and
officials in the relevant departments of both countries.
The chosen logo
will be used throughout the year on occasions celebrating the 50th
anniversary of South Korea and Singapore’s diplomatic ties.
On behalf of the
Singapore Embassy in Korea, Singapore Ambassador to South Korea, Eric Teo, thanked
the students of K-Arts and NAFA, noting, “The vibrant and dynamic design
beautifully reflects the spirit of innovation and friendship shared by our two
countries.” He added, “All of them are winners in their own right.”
Teo also expressed
hope that the students enjoyed their experience and gained a better understanding
of each other’s culture. Describing Singapore and South Korea as “like-minded
countries,” Teo emphasized, “There is much to look forward to in the next 50
years and beyond [in the relationship between Singapore and South Korea].”
South Korea and Singapore established diplomatic relations on August 8, 1975. To commemorate the 50th anniversary, the Singapore Embassy in South Korea is planning various events to showcase the friendship between two countries. Further details will be posted on the embassy’s social media as the events unfold.
