ECSRC Redesigned Logo
To mark its 15th Anniversary on 19 October, the Commission unveiled its newly redesigned logo which is the result of a collaborative effort between the ECSRC and the regional OECS rebranding experts, Orange Media Group Inc. This new logo rebrands the Commission as the more familiar and identifiable ECSRC and uses a simple colour and design to represent its core values of integrity, professionalism and commitment as well as the authority and discipline of the Commission as a regulatory institution. The new logo also features interlocking typography which exemplifies the interconnectedness of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union; the unity of purpose which our single, regional securities market symbolizes and the Commission’s approach to regulating the Eastern Caribbean Securities Market which is client-oriented and promotes excellence, innovation, collaboration and teamwork.
