Just weeks ago, a government agency had been under a hot topic due to a video clip which is supposed to be promoting tourism on the Philippines, but instead it created a controversy. It received criticism from the public who pointed out that it contained clips from other countries.
To make things worst, another agency of the government is the center of yet another scandal: the alleged 3M budget for the not so aesthetically appealing “new” logo of PAGCOR.
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of their founding, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has unveiled the new logo. PAGCOR chairman Alejandro Tengco said the new logo “incorporates the element of fire associated with energy, inspiration, passion, and transformation. It symbolizes the flame that ignites change and drives progress. The logo likewise reflects a beacon which symbolizes guidance, leadership, and direction. It represents a guiding light that helps people find their way.”
We do not want to comment about the logo, but it surely had its share of mixed reactions. While some call it a work of a genius, still others had a negative comment about it.
Was the logo really worth the budget it was paid for? Isn’t that too much?
Many say the 3M budget of the said logo is greatly overpaid, in fact many shared their thoughts regarding it, non-graphic designers and graphic designers alike.
For all it’s worth, we don’t even think Facebook has given that much of a money on the person who created its logo. (AJDB)
