Seon Thompson is both humbled and elated that his design was selected as the official logo of the Standing Committee of Caribbean Statisticians (SCCS).
His design emerged as the winning entry from among 206 submissions in a competition organised by the CARICOM Secretariat, in collaboration with the SCCS, and with funding from the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) under the Strengthening of the Framework of CARICOM Integration and Cooperation Process (SFCICP) project. The logo competition is one of many activities marking the Year of Statistics, which ends in November. The theme for this year’s commemoration is ‘Improving Lives through Statistics, Strengthening and Innovating Together’.
The logo embodies the vision, values, and mission of the SCCS, serving as a unifying emblem that reflects its vital role in advancing statistical development, collaboration, and cohesion across the Caribbean Community.
A national of Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Thompson was present in Curaçao for the unveiling of the logo during the opening of the 50th Meeting of the SCCS on 27 October 2025. He expressed his hope that the logo “would last for the next 50 years of the SCCS.”
Mr. Thompson shared his reflections with the Communications Unit shortly after the unveiling.
