“Connection is the Main Theme for my logo for VN-Australia’s 50 years of Relations”

In 2023, Vietnam and Australia celebrate 50 years of establishing diplomatic relations. In celebration of this milestone, the Vietnamese Embassy in Australia and the Australian Embassy in Vietnam jointly organized a logo contest. The winning logo will be used for official events in commemorative activities of the two countries.

According to the Organizing Committee, the purpose of the contest is to find a logo that embodies the message of the partnership between Vietnam and Australia over the past 50 years. The logo also needs to show the shared achievements of the two countries, the hope for the future, and the message of “People – Partner – Prosperous”.

After three months of launching, from 70 entries, on December 21, 2022, the contest announced the winning logo. The logo features the image of the boomerang – an internationally recognized symbol of Australia. With cleverness and sophistication, designer Tran Van Trung (Vietnam) created a logo featuring a five-pointed Vietnamese star from the boomerangs. Besides the five-color version, there is a gold version that aligns with the celebratory national colors of green and gold of Australia.

Sarah Hooper, Australian Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City is happy to celebrate a half-century of cooperation between the Viets and Aussies.

“We are pleased to see an entry that successfully combines famous Australian and Vietnamese symbols into a simple and eye-catching logo that will be easily recognizable as representing the 50th anniversary.”

“Most people associate Australia’s emblem with the Sydney Opera House. However, based on the message of the anniversary, I want to embrace the idea of connection into the logo,” claimed Trung.

He chose boomerang because it represents the indigenous people of Australia and it is also a cultural icon of the country. The boomerangs can be shaped together to create an image of a star, which is also the symbol of Vietnam.

“Regarding the color combination, I used red to represent Vietnam and dark blue to represent Australia. Blue represents the ocean and navigation, and the green represents agriculture. Yellow appears in both countries’ flags and it represents the idea of prosperity. I designed the logo within two months,” said Trung.

“When I heard that my design had been chosen, I felt honored to be contributing to the celebration of 50 years of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the future, I hope that Vietnam and Australia will boost agricultural and green economic cooperation to create sustainable development. While both countries have agricultural strengths, Australia is ahead of Vietnam in terms of developing environmentally friendly technologies.”

Tran Van Trung graduated in industrial arts and currently works for an educational organization. He has many good memories of Sydney when attending a summer course at Macquarie University in 2019.

“Australia is an ethnically diverse country and Australians are really friendly to foreigners,” said Trung.

Buzz, Bump, Goal! Drone Football Takes Center Stage at CES

Five red drones are competing against five blue drones in a thrilling drone soccer match. Controlling the drones from outside the playing field ensures safety for all. The game lasts for three action-packed minutes, with the drones protected by globe-like shields, zooming around, colliding with each other, and bouncing off the green field. Their mission: to score goals by maneuvering a drone through the opposing team’s “donut,” a hoop suspended 3.5 meters in the air that lights up when a goal is achieved. Sean Greenhalgh, a professional drone soccer player and former Trader Joe’s employee, reveals that he discovered this emerging sport during a drone photography course about a year ago. Now, he serves as the captain and main striker for Team USA, alongside teaching children aged four and older the sport. While it may be a niche profession, Greenhalgh appears to be doing well and enjoying his role. Jasmine Lee, the match commentator, explains that an engineer, who happened to be a mas...

Vietnam fail to solve Singapore’s defense in goalless AFF Cup clash

Vietnam had a difficult game at Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore as they struggled to find a way through the disciplined and multi-layered defense of the hosts. The 2008 and 2018 winners, who started with a line-up including many reserved players, barely created a relevant chance in the first half. In the second half, Vietnam put several key players in and created more profound attacks. However, Singapore’s defense remained solid. Vietnamese striker Nguyen Tien Linh, forward Nguyen Van Quyet and midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had many good chances to score, but all of them ended up in vain as their precision was lacked. Vietnam were the closest to goal when Nguyen Hoang Duc’s shot hit the post in the 84th minute. The 0-0 draw against Singapore still retains Vietnam’s top spot in Group B and leaves the door to the semifinals wide open for the two-time winners. The Vietnamese will only be eliminated if they lost to Myanmar from eight goals and Malaysia defeat Singapore in the la...
