From Towers to Circles: A New Chapter for ICTIC

Old ICTIC Logo New ICTIC Logo

The iconic twin towers of the old ICTIC logo, once a testament to the bond between friends who dared to dream, have gracefully bowed out. In their place, a vibrant blue circle emerges, pulsating with the energy of a transformed vision. This is not a mere update; it's a metamorphosis, a story of evolution etched in pixels.

The circle, encompassing the word "ICTIC" in bold white letters, speaks of unity. It's a symbol of inclusivity, where every member, veteran or junior, finds their place within the vibrant embrace of the organization. The blue, once solely representing the vast ocean of the ICT industry, now shimmers with a deeper meaning. It reflects the boundless potential within each individual, the collective brilliance that illuminates the path forward.

Gone is the rigid rectangle, a relic of the past. The new logo breathes with the fluidity of change, of adaptation to the ever-shifting landscape of technology. It's a dynamic orb, constantly in motion, mirroring the relentless pursuit of innovation that defines ICTIC's spirit.

But amidst the transformation, one thing remains constant: the unwavering commitment to brotherhood and camaraderie. The circle, after all, is the ultimate symbol of unity, a closed loop where support flows freely and ideas spark like constellations. It's a reminder that even as ICTIC soars to new heights, its foundation remains the same – the unbreakable bonds forged in the fires of friendship and shared passion.

So, raise a toast to the new logo, a beacon of progress that doesn't forget its roots. It's a testament to ICTIC's journey, a visual narrative of growth, and a promise of a future where technology and humanity dance hand-in-hand, forever bound by the invisible threads of brotherhood and unwavering support.

This new story, woven with threads of blue and white, is just the beginning. The circle beckons, inviting every member to step inside and contribute to the vibrant tapestry of ICTIC's future. Let the story continue, let the logo come alive, and let the Philippines embrace the transformative power of technology, guided by the unwavering spirit of ICTIC.
