A Nigerian designer, Osuolale Farouq @osuolale_farouq who proposed a new logo for the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) has been invited by the Chairman of the first Africa automobile manufacturing company.

A new design by Farouq, depicting the face of a hawk went viral on social media on Wednesday when he wrote on his Twitter handle @osuolale_farouq “so I’m proposing a new logo@innosonvehicles.”

 

He pleaded with his followers to retweet by simply saying “if this comes across your timeline, please retweet.”

First two Tweeter users who reacted to the tweet praised the new logo and one of them said he could get the designer linked up with the Chairman of the automobile manufacturer.

Less than 48 hours after the tweet became sensation, the management of IVM through its official Twitter handle @innosonvehicles reached out to Farouq asking him for his contacts for a possible meeting and adoption of his logo for the company’s products.
