The chairman of the Seychelles University Foundation, Dr Rolph Payet, yesterday unveiled the logo for the foundation during a short ceremony held at State House, in the presence of members of the foundation.
Also present were the artists who designed the logo, Allen Commetant and Alex Bibi.
Dr Payet described the logo as the identity of the foundation that represents the aspiration and vision of the country to move towards a knowledge-based society.
He said that the logo will be used at all the promotional and fund raising activities of the foundation, and also feature on their brochures and web site.
Saying that the logo is significant and profound, the chairman said that it features a leaf which represents Seychelles’ natural heritage and the need to preserve it.
“It also represents a high-flying nation – flying in the wind, to achieve our fullest potential, and at the same time remain anchored in the tree, not forgetting where our nation comes from,” he said, adding that the leaf also represents a hand holding the nation together, with the flag as a symbol of the country’s national unity and progress.
“The drop of water signifies life – the life of our young people and their future. It also represents the sea, our biggest resource and potential,” Dr Payet said.
He added that the islands are Seychelles’ most fragile and precious asset and that there is need to cultivate a culture of learning so that young Seychellois will grow up to care for, and appreciate the country.
“The Seychelles University Foundation represents the ambition to take our country forward, to stand out in a globalised world, to enable our nation to achieve its full potential, and to provide an opportunity for positive thinking and life-long learning,” he said, thanking Mr Commetant for working on the design, and Mr Bibi for assisting with the production of the logo.
