WILLEMSTAD - The fuss about the new national emblem continues. The logo has been heavily criticized on social media in recent days. It now appears that the logo is largely composed of stock images from an online database, Shutterstock.
The hummingbird and fishing boat in the logo come almost directly from Shutterstock. The design “Mi Pais, Mi Orguyo” was submitted by Andresetti Monart and was shortlisted for 10 logos for the public to choose from and emerged as the winner. The selection committee emphasizes that this version is a concept. A professional design team will soon be appointed to come up with the final design.
