PPP Launch Logo Design Competition In Re-Branding Exercise

Deadline : December 7, 2009

SHAH ALAM, Nov 28 (Bernama) -- The People's Progressive Party (PPP) will launch a nationwide logo design competition next month as part of its re-branding exercise to rejuvenate and promote a prominent identity for the party.

Party president, Datuk M. Kayveas, said the aim of the contest, which will be opened to all Malaysians, was to make PPP, a component party of Barisan Nasional, to be attractive and acceptable to the Malaysian community, especially youngsters.

"The logo design competition was the first of its kind being implemented in a political party in the country, including PPP. The details of the contest, rules and regulations, will be posted at PPP's website at www.ppp.org.my by Dec 7. Party information chief A. Chandrakumanan will announce the opening and closing dates for the competition," he told Bernama.

The first prize for the competition is RM5,000, second prize (RM3,000), third prize (RM1,000) and consolation prizes worth RM500 each would be given to three contestants.

Kayveas said contestants are only required to use colours which are stated in the Malaysian flag, excluding yellow, in the design pieces.

"We want contestants to avoid using yellow in the design since it is a royal colour," he said, adding the last time PPP changed its logo was in 1996.

Kayveas also said that the current logo has too many colours, costing the party a substantial amount for printing costs.

Meanwhile, the former deputy minister in the prime minister's department said the party was ready to go online to recruit members and to form party branches by next January.

Kayveas added that the party plans to increase its membership to about 700,000 through online recruitment, before the next general election.

The PPP now has about 547,000 members.

He also said that PPP will form a 12-member panel, state assembly committee, in each of its 155 divisions nationwide.
