Winning Logo depicts ECIT as a virtual platform.
Dexter Small, a 19-year-old student of the Montserrat Community College has designed the Logo for the Eastern Caribbean Institute of Tourism (ECIT). Dexter’s design was the Winning Entry out of 20 submissions from across the OECS. The Logo Competition was open to students enrolled in the ECIT’s nine partner institutions across OECS Member States. The winning logo was selected based on the following criteria: relevance, originality, and aesthetic quality.
The Winning Logo depicts the ECIT as a virtual platform, illustrated by the wifi signal. The logo also contains aspects of tourism (sun) and an aspect of education, represented by a book. Dexter’s submission was selected as the ECIT Logo, principally for its creativity and simplicity. He was awarded a cash prize of EC $1000. 00 for his design.
