First of all, I'd like to commend you on your beautiful logo, despite not being picked, it reflects the hard work and commitment you put into it.

In comparison however, it looks quite busy, too animated, and more suitable as a coat of arms as against a state seal or emblem. If both were to be printed on an official document or podium, I'm sure you'd agree that the other one looks more appropriate especially as it captures the essence of your entire logo within the shield which was neatly positioned inside the ring.

The take away is that simplicity and clarity without losing the essence is key. Nevertheless your logo was a brilliant effort and I encourage you to keep improving. Good luck.

ENEONWO:
Your own version of the emblem is too busy.

KINGwax007:
Your logo is great, but just too heavy.

The other has no originality

The colours is an idea of Lagos States emblem and the stars are from the US air force emblem

menxer:
Your version looks childish. An elephant tying loin cloth with cap looks comical to say the least.

Beremx:
Eyimba FC should buy your logo.

How Abia State Government Turned Down My Logo Design, Be The Judge (pics)

The New Abia Logo was unveiled few days ago and I received the news with shock. I pursued this logo for over 2yrs and in the end another logo was chosen.

*August 2013*
There was a call/announcement for submission of prospective state emblems through the BCA (Broadcasting Cooperation of Abia State) radio. I visited BCA and was directed to submit my entry with the office of the Secretary to the State Government, then headed by Dr. Nkpa O. Nkpa. Mine was later chosen and I was assigned to work with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Chief. Nathan Harbour. After a number of corrections, insertions and modifications, Chief. Harbour introduced me to the then commissioner for Information, Dr.Eze Chikamnayo, who took special interest on delivering the emblem; further adjustments were made on the emblem. However, towards preparations for the 2015 elections all matters on the state emblem initiative vanished and this is a bit understandable given the demands of our electioneering in this part of the world.
With a new government in place, I drafted and sent several proposals and reminder on the emblem, in addition with an anthem & a flag. Incidentally, on October 1, 2015 the governor called for entries on a state emblem and anthem and I again submitted mine and followed up, constantly sending reminders to the governor's social media platforms. I also exchanged mails with the Chief Press Secretary C. N. Nwakodo on several occasions concerning the entry.


Disappointed? Maybe
I am a bit disappointed not that my entry missed out on being selected for the state emblem, but that my work in every way can challenge and best the current choice in criteria as quality, interpretation and order. I put in my best with logo standards like that of Lagos and Osun state. But I will let my fellow Nairalanders be the judge.


Dear Mods, help me take this news up..

It is too Igbotic and not fully representative of the people of Abia ....Abians are not Elephants naaaa ...they are humans and their various trades needs to be highlighted. An emblem is a representative of the people's culture. The new one did just that though not fully.
