The Electoral Commission of Ghana has expressed concern about the continuous use of the commission old logo by Journalists to file stories about the EC.
In a statement, the Acting Director of Public Affairs at the Electoral Commission, Sylvia Annoh said on Tuesday 4th December 2018, the Commission unanimously decided to revert from Charlotte Osei’s logo to the original logo of the institution.
Even though the statement did not point to which particular old logo, the fact is that there are two old logos of the Commission.

By this, the old logo the Commission may be referring to is the one that was introduced by the Charlotte Osei EC-led administration with multiple colours.
And according to the statement, the original logo reflects the Coat of Arms of Ghana with a ballot box at the centre. It also depicts a hand casting its vote.
