Her design represents the typical Vietnamese conical hat decorated with the three colors of the Belgian flag. The eyes in the middle of the logo represent the two peoples of the countries and the two silk ribbons are like flying wings which represent freedom, peace, inspiration and luck. The left and right cords signifying Belgium and Vietnam are twisted to form the number 45, showing the close connection between the two countries over the past 45 years.
The winning work will be the official logo for all celebrating activities in 2018.
The winner will be offered a prize of a two-week internship at Happiness Saigon Company in Ho Chi Minh City./.
