NCC unveils new corporate logo, reflects dynamic shift
By Editor
THE Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) has formally presented its new corporate logo to journalists and media practitioners. Speaking on the symbolism of the logo at a recent copyright seminar for journalists organised by the commission in collaboration with the Art and Culture Writers Association of Nigeria (ACWAN) in Abuja on December 10 2025, the commission’s Director of Public Affairs, Mrs. Ijeoma Egbunike urged journalists and media professionals to note the change and desist from using any previous logo.
According to her, the new logo features a circular green-and-red badge with 36 radiating red spikes representing the 36 States of the federation. Together, she said, they form a hexagonal police star, symbolising the enforcement and police powers of the commission. The six tallest spikes represent the six major categories of copyright works: literary, musical, artistic, audiovisual works, sound recordings and broadcasts, and also reflect the six geopolitical zones of the country and the abundance of creativity across the country.
Egbunike also explained that the three flowing green-white-green blocks with the ‘NCC’ initials embedded in the logo depict book spines, the flow of ideas and the dynamic character of the subject of copyright. The inner green circle stands for creativity and reinforces the commission’s primary mandate of protecting creativity (also shown in the tagline) while the outer blue circle represents the all-round wealth that is generated by creative activities.
The NCC had collaborated with the culture journalists’ body ACWAN to organise a webinar on the theme ‘Beyond Reporting: The Media, Copyright and the Creative Economy’ aimed at deepening relationships with the body bodies – one policy and enforcement and the other reportorial, educational and critical of culture production. The webinar had veteran journalism and culture communicator Mr. Jahman ANikulapo, copyright experts Mike Akpan and Vincent Oyefeso as recourse persons.
