There have been widespread condemnations on social media following the release of the new Osun State logo by Governor Ademola Adeleke-led administration.

OSUN DEFENDER earlier reports that Governor Adeleke while assenting to a bill adopting the new logo for the state, described the new symbol as a signal of new rebirth.

He said the new logo is significant because it rhymes and meaningfully represents the state’s historic anthem, values, and tradition.

According to him, “I am elated to sign this new Logo into law as a signal of rebirth of our dear State. The new logo is significant because it rhymes and meaningfully represents our historic anthem, our values and tradition”.

The development has however generated a lot of reactions on social media with netizens berating the choice of new the logo over the old one, calling the government’s attention to other important issues rather than focusing on the logo.

The following are some of the reactions:

@MasterMaliq said: The logo is not fine jare.. looks very local.😒take a look at the Lagos and Oyo state Logo.

@CASAnovaPremium: This logo is awful. A baby graphic designer would do a better job.

@ADE_T_ADELEYE: Osunmo Òpèlè Ifa Ojina si Logo Agbekoya. Graphics Designer might be from @InsideOsogbo or Okuku

@QasimOdetara: And the state paid someone to design this? Haba! Even a appreciate graphics designer must not present this to a whole state. What is this?? They should just leave the former logo. It is well designed and looks very mature.

@T_pappy10: What’s this Lmao 😂😂😂.

@DonAlfonso99: The Y has to be clearly depicted. The logo is not even attractive. But the picture is illustrated well 👏

@tifesings: Petition to cancel and redesign a befitting logo for Osun State.

@m4V3_: Is this the A/B testing phase or its yet to pass through that?

@Ladeyoriju: I’m glad you mentioned gold. What exactly is the Governor/Government doing to bring the mindless greed influenced gold mining in certain towns within the state to a halt? These miners keep destroying farms, residential spaces and environment in general. What the heck?

@PeterROCK: All the nonsense you’ve written here throw it in the bin. Circle this, earth mountain…… throw it in the trash. Gtbanks logo is a literal rectangle.

@realolabid: And someone actually approve of this poor excuse for a logo? There are many talented designers out there who could do a much better job. In fact, it would have been a great initiative to organize a contest for designers to create a new logo for the state. #OsunDeservesTheBest

Hmm 🤔

The complaints are not about the logo, but about the graphics which was purely done. I won't be suprised if millions of naira where allocated for the shordy graphics.

It's funny how the numbers 19 & 91 are even spaced apart. It looks like something done by a 5 years old pupil.

This is what they call colour riot

What is it with Osun State governors and wanting to change unnecessary things about the state designs instead of focusing on the people and infrastructure? The other time it was Aregbesola who kept insisting that the state should be called "The State of Osun" instead of just Osun State. Now this one is interested in logos and letterheads. Who knows, the next governor might want to move the state from South West to the North!

Make them enjoy their twerking gov o

There are no deep thinkers in this administration

Jackson is a confused 🤔 man.

This was how Nokia killed themselves, instead of asking the people what they wanted and how they wanted it, they kept forcing their personal desires on the people, even when the people have moved on from symbian to android . This governor should have involved the people in situations like this, it is not a personal logo but a state logo

Ẹ sure for me, na Davido design this logo

Osun - The Guinness Pig State.
This is photograph not Logo. Put it on black and white docs and all the details will disappear!

As far as osun state citizens aren’t complaining who am I ?
But it looks like what my little baby designed. He should focus more on better things.

It is very simple and symbolic i don't understand what the wailing is about

May the changing of Osun Logo favor me and my family. Amen. Ire ooooo

Very poor graphics. Would be difficult to easily replicate

Now that a head is featuring prominently in the new Osun logo , expect increased activities in skull mining in that state.

Warisaldis, abi na B-Red design this postage stamp?? People wen get 24hr light never talk, na people wen Nepa still dey show shege dey draw halogen bulb for their logo.

The governor cancelled the name State of Osun immediately he came into power.. the next person after him will cancel this state Logo immediately he comes..

That is what they do with government in Nigeria..🤔

This adeleke of a man lacks class,

My question is why is a human SKULL always involved? Can't they do something different?

That icon is used in core Yoruba imagery

Ipinle omoluabi. Oduduwa

Poor design. Too many things going on at once. They should start with something that is 2D or vector.

the state is taking skull mining very serious
so the skull has to be symbolize

Same rubbish Aregbe used 8 years to do, the dancing gov has also started. Isun people don enter am. Thought they said Tinubu was their problem then, now will learn. Meanwhile, Lagos is churning out projects while PDP Osun is printing Logo. Omoluabis in Osun better take back their destinies.

Osun state is on a reverse gear. I pity the state of Osun.

Bag of fats is serving the people of Osun what they deserve.

He will soon go to Thailand to rest after this serious logo work.

Hmm 🤔
