VTI Logo Launch
Tuesday 22 May 2018
It’s official! This week, we unveiled the new Victorian TAFE International (VTI) logo. This is especially exciting for the VTI network, because our chosen designer was TAFE international student Panavuth Kret, from Cambodia (Holmesglen Institute of TAFE). Panavuth is an award-winning graphic designer who has previously worked on international design projects and was also recognised as a Finalist for the 2017 Victorian Government International Student of the Year VET Award. We are so proud to have benefited from his vision for the VTI logo, one that simultaneously conveys our connectedness as a community of practice and the global reach of our international programs. We trust you will love it as much as we do.
