It has emerged that the design the Electoral Commission (EC) intends to use as its new logo is that of an educational and career counselling centre in Turkey.
The Turkish institute may be smiling all the way to the bank if the EC goes ahead to outdoor the ‘stolen’ logo, since the owner may sue for theft of intellectual property.
The yet-to-be-launched logo, which activist Kinna Likimani says looks like children going to play basket ball, came to light on Tuesday when the EC organised a workshop for journalists on election reportage in Accra.
It is meant to replace the original logo of the Commission, which is made up of the national insignia – the coat of arms – and a hand casting a ballot.
A day after the story about the logo broke, Manasseh Azure Awuni of Joy FM posted a picture of the centre with the name and same logo as that which the EC wants to outdoor, saying, “This is an educational and career counselling centre in Ankara, Turkey.”
