THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Noted filmmaker Shaji N Karun, who was member in the logo committee of the 35th National Games, alleged that the organisers changed the logo of the games without intimating the committee.
“The logo and further designs were completely changed without informing the committee with eminent artist Thota Tharani as chairman. The logo, type font and the colour pattern were fixed after a very long process, but now all those elements are found to have been changed at the very last minute,” Shaji told ‘Express’.
He said that the committee with himself, Thota Tharani and artist Ajayakumar, was constituted during the tenure of LDF Government. “The committee’s initial job was to select a good logo design, which was invited from the public through newspaper advertisement. But we couldn’t find any design which met the national level standard.
Then we decided to discuss regarding the basic needs for the design and design the logo based on these parameters,” said Shaji.
