Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has unveiled new visual identities for The Nigeria Prize for Literature, The Nigeria Prize for Science and the newly introduced The Nigeria Prize for Creative Arts.
The new identities were presented at a press conference held in Lagos.
Speaking at the event, General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development at NLNG, Sophia Horsfall, said the rebranding was aimed at preserving the legacy of the prizes while aligning them with international standards.
“For over two decades, The Nigeria Prizes have stood as independent symbols of excellence and national aspiration. This redesign protects the legacy of the prizes while positioning them to be more visible beyond Nigeria,” Mrs Horsfall said.
She said ideas play a role in national growth and that investment in intellectual and creative output supports development.
“Ideas shape societies. Literature, science, and innovation are part of Nigeria’s development,” she added.
The new logo for The Nigeria Prize for Literature draws from the image of turning book pages.
The design uses layered green forms to represent storytelling and the development of ideas across literary genres.
Chairperson of the Advisory Board for The Nigeria Prize for Literature, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo, said the logo reflects the continuity of Nigerian writing.
“The turning pages show that our stories continue across generations,” she said.
The Nigeria Prize for Science and Innovation logo features intersecting blue orbits, representing scientific inquiry and discovery.
Chairman of the Advisory Board for The Nigeria Prize for Science and Innovation, Barth Nnaji, said the identity reflects the role of science in national progress.
“Science involves questioning and testing ideas to solve problems,” he said.
The Nigeria Prize for Creative Arts logo is designed around a spiral form, representing creative output across different artistic fields.
NLNG said the redesign followed its recent corporate brand update and was intended to create a unified visual system for the prizes.
The Nigeria Prize for Literature and The Nigeria Prize for Science were established in 2004 and have maintained consistent identities since their introduction.
In her closing remarks, Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs at NLNG, Anne-Marie Palmer-Ikuku, said the unveiling renewed stakeholders’ commitment to the prizes.
She said the prizes have encouraged discussion, recognised talent and supported ideas with societal impact across literature, science and innovation.
Mrs Palmer-Ikuku said the new logos reflect the history of the prizes while supporting their future direction.
She also acknowledged the contributions of advisory board members, scientists, writers, innovators and media organisations for their roles in sustaining the prizes.
