1st Mindanao Nursing Summit Logo

I'm glad to announce that the Southern Philippines Medical Center has successfully conducted the 1st Mindanao Nursing Management Summit last May 23-24, 2012 at the Davao Convention Center, Davao City. Mr. Patrick Soria, RN, the Over-all Chairperson of Mindanao Nursing Summit, entrusted me to design the official logo of the event. With the theme, “Illuminating the Path for the Future of Nursing and Healthcare Transformation", the summit offers nurses educational and professional sessions that will elevate their nursing practice, inspire transformation, promote innovation and energize them to survive & trive in the new age of health care.

My design is inspired the Vinta which is a cultural symbol of Mindanao and is also a metaphor for a community. The sail can also be seen alternatively as a book, symbol for knowledge, which nurses will acquire through the sessions. Embedded in the sail is a lamp with fire, a symbol of Nurisng and illumination. Tribal patterns and the ukkil-inspired shape of the fire and sea depicts the culture of Mindanao.

I'm happy to be part of this historical event and i'm currently designing for next year's summit :D So to all Nurses out there, watch out for the 2nd Mindanao Nursing Summit! Visit their website http://www.mindanaonursingsummit.com/.
