Apia, SAMOA — Samoa looks to celebrate its 60th Independence anniversary on June 1 after two half years of virtual celebrations due to the pandemic lockdown. The Logo and Theme for the 60th anniversary was launched in front of the FMFMII government building last week.

Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mataafa announced the winning logo as “Folau ma le Faatuatua” (Sail with Faith), a theme she said “best describes Samoa’s journey over the last 60 years, where we are now, and the future.”

The selected logo depicts significant historical events that shaped Samoa’s path to independence, its traditions, and its Christian values and beliefs as stipulated in its Constitution.

The logo was unveiled by the Deputy Prime Minister, Tuala Tevaga Ponifasio.

Cabinet approved the Logo and Theme on a recommendation by the Independence Committee from fifty nine submissions from various artists and graphic designers in Samoa and abroad earlier this year through an open advertisement for the competition.

Each entry was assessed thoroughly by the committee on who would be best to win the prize money of SAT$5,000.

The winner of the 60th Independence Celebrations Logo and Theme competition was awarded to the Bluwave Samoa, a company based in New Zealand and Samoa, owned and managed by Samoans.

The logo and theme is the property of the Government of Samoa but will be open to businesses and individuals for use with legal requirements to be satisfied.
