Davao City’s tourism office has launched on Monday a logo design contest for the upcoming 80th Araw ng Dabaw “to catch up with time.”
CTO head said the current logo has been in use since 2011.
“This is what the City Mayor [Inday Sara Duterte-Carpio] has been excited about; our office has thought of having a logo-making contest to redesign the current logo as we have been using it for five years,”said CTO head Generose Tecson.
Tecson pointed out that Mayor Duterte-Carpio wants to have interactive activities for the Dabawenyos and the City Government intends to know the perspective of the locals on what “Life is Here” for them.
She added that it’s time to change the logo and it is important that the idea would be coming from Dabawenyo’s point of view on why life is here in Davao.
“Iba rin kasi ang dating kung ‘yung idea lang ng higher ups ang lumalabas, so this time we also want to know how the people feel about why ‘life is here’ and ano ang viewpoint at perspective ng locals,” Tecson said.
[Translation: “It’s different when the idea of the higher ups would only just go out, so this time we also want to know how the people feel about why ‘life is here’ and the viewpoints and perspectives of the locals.”]
