DA NANG (VNS) — Freelance Graphic Designer, Doan Hai Tu, 25, from HCM City was awarded the first prize in the city's new tourism logo and slogan design contest.

Tu created the logo with five cubes, featuring the image of the city's Ngu Hanh Son (Marble) Mountains, a major destination, in five colours depicting the young city.

The logo portrays the city as a ballooned sail in the sea, the beauty of a pristine beach, and a dynamic young city. The designer also described the city by a slogan: FantastiCity with the letter C connecting the two words, fantastic and city.

The contest was launched in January by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism. The winner walked away with a prize money of VND100 million (US$4,800). — VNS
