    It is now known that Mr. Simon Osei, a Graphic Designer and husband of Charlotte Osei design the logo.

  • Ben 10 years ago

    Isn't it amazing the Simon Osei also design the new NCCE logo when his wife Charlotte was the Chairperson of the NCCE?

  • Ben 10 years ago

    ...and must be investigated. How much does it cost to design the logo and change everything in the EC to conform to the new logo?

  • ATSU, HO 10 years ago

    You are telling us you have the independence to serve Satan by adopting a demonic symbol for the Logo. We pray for divine intervention in stopping all these ill motives from materialising

    The logo is perceived as hers, not the other commissioners. The perception is that Mrs. Charlotte Osei plagiarized it from a Turkish institution. Meaning that she is so daft that she can't come up with her own original idea. ...
