National Assembly Unveils Modern Logo, Retires Coat of Arms

The National Assembly is getting a fresh new look. Belize’s legislature is saying goodbye to the traditional coat of arms as its logo and rolling out a modern design instead. Prime Minister John Briceño calls the new branding ‘classy,’ and interestingly, the Opposition is also on board with the change.

“This has gone through extensive consultations, and I must commend you and Madam President of the Senate who have taken on this initiative along with your staff and that we have come to this as something with a lot of consultation with everybody involved, including the House of Representatives and Senate. And I really can’t think of any reason to defend this motion. It is something that is good. It is very classy what you all have worked with.”

 

Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition

“Indeed, I think the branding or rebranding of the National Assembly is an important initiative. I hope the rebranding will also signal that the National Assembly becomes more accessible to the public as we try to have greater engagement with our citizenry.”
