The Samoa International Finance Authority (S.I.F.A.) is inviting local and overseas designers to design a logo for their new company, Samoa I.B.F.C.

The new company will be overtaking the Authority's marketing, promotion and sponsorship functions, it announced in an advertisement published on their website.

“The logo design must reflect the core marketing functions of Samoa I.B.F.C.,” the advertisement says.

“The theme must reflect: International financial services offered by Samoa through S.I.F.A.

"[It must portray] Samoa as a modern, corporate, stable and competitive jurisdiction; and the global reach and accessibility of Samoa as an international finance centre.”

The successful winner will be awarded $1000. 

The copyright to the logo design and the right to make modifications will be held by the Samoa I.B.F.C.

Participants are able to submit only two entries which must be accompanied by a certification of authenticity, the Authority said.

Entries are required to be submitted as a file in a flash drive before or on 8 January, 2021.

Samoa I.B.F.C. will be specifically responsible for promoting Samoa’s international financial services and wealth management solutions offered by Samoa along with Invest Samoa.

The latter was established in 1988 as the promotional arm of S.I.F.A., offering information for those seeking business solutions to international estate planning issues, international company incorporation, trusts, foundations, partnerships, mutual funds, segregated funds, insurance and banking services.
