60th Anniversary Logo

In November 2007, The Philippine Embassy in Oslo launched a Logo Contest for the anniversary of Philippine-Norway Diplomatic Relations that will be celebrated in 2008. A total of six entries were received. The entry of Rebecca Austria Garcia became the basis for the winning logo which was later refined by Agnes Pedrosa Marelid. After a series of consultations the Embassy and Norwegian Foreign Ministry Officials, the logo above was approved.

The logo fully depicts 60 long years of friendship and solidarity between the Philippines and Norway, symbolized by the following:

• Philippine and Norwegian flags flying side by side, with the Northern Lights of Norway as background
• Anchor and Compass representing the strong maritime relations of the two countries
• Sea Waves and Mountains signifying the scenic landscapes of the two countries and the collaboration that will continue between the peoples and governments of the Philippines and Norway in the years ahead.
