“Clarifications and information”
According to the post, previous options and suggestions are respected by the administrators. However, the new design will prevail in the construction of the new signage. Here are some of the reasons explained by the post regarding the design.
- “#DumaGetMe is just a hashtag”
- “emphasized that this signage is donated by the Negros Oriental Association-USA”
- “icon is unique, a key element in the strategy of branding”
- “previous signage was totally destroyed following a series of typhoons and its exposure to the scorching heat of the sun and saltwater which hastened its corrosion and eventual collapse.”
- “ ‘Dumagute Got Me’ visitors would say”
