Panaji, August 2016: The newly formed Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), formulated to implement the Smart City plans, has announced a stakeholder competition open to all citizens including schools and colleges wherein participants will be asked to design a logo for the SPV, named Imagine Panaji Smart City Development Limited. The winning logo stands a chance to become the official logo of the SPV and the same may be used as a reference for any future communication material. The logo design should communicate the wider vision for a Smart Panaji, which is: “The City of Panaji will transform into a world-class city, achieving a better quality of life in a sustainable environment through economic growth and citizen participation, while retaining our heritage and cultural diversity.” In essence, the logo design should be unique and reflect the culture and future aspirations of Panaji. Panaji aims to be a heritage city which is clean, green and safe; and one that provides a diverse range of housing, employment, educational and recreational opportunities to all its residents and visitors in a connected, accessible and attractive environment.
