80th ANNIVERSARY LOGO

Client: Thông Tấn Xã Việt Nam (Vietnam News Agency)

In 2025, Vietnam marks 80 years of independence (1945–2025). I was honored to be commissioned by TTXVN to design the official 80th anniversary logo, a visual identity celebrating eight decades of delivering trusted news to Vietnam and the world.

Thông tấn xã Việt Nam (Vietnam News Agency – TTXVN) is the official state news agency of Vietnam and the nation’s most authoritative source of information. Established on 15 September 1945, just days after President Hồ Chí Minh declared independence (2 September 1945), TTXVN has accompanied the country through every historical milestone — from the struggle for national liberation to the journey of development and international integration. They provides timely, reliable news in multiple languages with content spans across text, photos, television, and digital platforms, serving both domestic media outlets and international audiences. Beyond its role as a news provider, TTXVN embodies the values of credibility, accuracy, and public trust. Over eight decades, they has became a modern multimedia organization while staying true to its mission: to deliver official and verified information that connects Vietnam with the world.

Today, TTXVN continues to be recognized as the “main source of news” in Vietnam, carrying forward a legacy built since 1945 and shaping the future of journalism in the digital era.

ABOUT THE LOGO

National Exhibition on Vietnam’s 80-Year Journey of Independence – Freedom – Happiness

At the National Exhibition Centre, the TTXVN booth was a thoughtfully designed, strategically positioned showcase of the agency’s eight-decade legacy. Its open layout and storytelling approach engaged visitors while reinforcing TTXVN’s identity as Nguồn tin chính thống – Dòng tin chủ lực (“Official source – Most reliable news”). This presence aligned with the exhibition’s broader mission of honoring national achievements and invited the public to connect with Vietnam’s media heritage.

Seeing the 80th anniversary logo applied in such a prestigious national setting, alongside milestones of Vietnam’s development, was a proud moment. It affirmed the design’s relevance and adaptability across large-scale exhibitions and underscored my contribution to the visual identity of one of Vietnam’s most authoritative institutions.
