New Logo for Singapore Tourism Awards 

Along with the re-naming of the event, STB has introduced a new logo for the Singapore Tourism Awards. 

 

Comprising a stylised constellation in the shape of two luminous, ascending stars, the logo symbolises STB's mission to discover the brightest individuals and most outstanding establishments in Singapore's tourism industry. The constellation idea is also a reference to the host of past tourism award winners and how they all represent the pinnacle of excellence that STA recipients strive towards.
