“All these taken together, our new logo reflects Pagcor’s long standing commitment of being a guiding force that illuminates the way forward, drives transformation and development, and brings inspiration and motivation to the lives it touches,” he added.Some likened the logo to a rooster in what appears to be an allusion to cockfighting.
Satirical cartoonist Kevin Eric Raymundo, the artist behind Tarantadong Kalbo, also created an illustration making the logo appear like a rooster. “The design is very e-sabong ,” said a social media user who left a comment in Pagcor’s official Twitter page. Social media users also noticed the similarity Pagcor’s new logo to the logos of a gas company and an instant noodle brand.“With the creativity of Filipinos, a much better logo could have surfaced especially if the winning design would be awarded millions of pesos,” Twitter user and lawyer Gideon Peña said.
Netizen and lawyer Jong De Guzman also said Pagcor’s fiasco could have been avoided “if more people believed in the wisdom of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’.”Subscribe to our daily newsletter
