My logo is entitled "Agning" It is the fusion between science and art with a Filipino flag. The panicle is tipped with a paintbrush representing excellence in art while the encasing Erlenmeyer flask symbolizes science. The ink bottle with the SCM logo is the depiction of the fusion of science and art in the science city of Munoz. The green background which covers most of the flask is a depiction of how the city helps protect the environment by adapting science and art activities that are both excellent separately and holistically but without doing any harm in the environment.

Behind every festivity reflects a bounty harvest -a celebration. The logo is an artistic interpretation of a rice plant that resembles like a dancing human and it celebrates Science City of Muñoz’s rich harvest in Arts and Sciences. It depicts how essential Arts and Sciences to our City. Being the first Science City in the Philippines, Muñoz became a center of discoveries, studies, training and research, pioneer in breakthrough on the fields of agriculture and technology. The logo also symbolizes how Muñozonians gives honor and value arts and sciences. And now it’s time to show the world how we built this city by Arts and Sciences.

Ang logong ito ay binubuo ng mga simbolong kumakatawan sa sining at agham at sa Lungsod Agham ng Muñoz. Makikita sa logo ang dalawang uhay na may mga ginintuang palay na tila sumasayaw upang ipagdiwang ang masaganang ani ng lungsod. Ang mga uhay ay binuklod sa ugat ng isang brutsa (brush) na sumasagisag sa mayamang sining ng Lungsod. Ito rin ay may ginintuang kulay na nangangahulugang mayaman ang sining at kultura sa Lungsod. Ang pinagsamang sining at uhay ay tila nakayakap sa isang bagay na sumisimbolo sa agham. Ito ay nangangahulugan na ang masaganag ani ng Lungsod ay dahil sa pinagsamang sining at agham na siya rin namang inaani ng bawat tao sa Lungsod. Makikita rin sa dakong kaliwa ang imahe ng isang taong umiindayog. Binubuo ito ng mga kulay na makikita sa ating watawat na siya namang sumisimbolo sa ating pagiging Pilipino. Ang malikhaing paggalaw o pagsayaw na ito ay nangangahulugan din sa mayamang kultura at sining ng Lungsod. Makikita rin sa logo ang salitang “uhay” na nakasulat sa mga letrang alibata. Ang alibata, bilang isang sinaunang titik nating mga Pilipino ay pagpapakahulugan din sa ating mayaman na sining noon pa man. Ang gitnang bahagi ng uhay na nakasulat sa alibata ay nakapaloob sa simbolo ng agham na nagangahulugan ng pagyakap at pag akibat ng agham sa sining at ng kanilang pagsasama para sa mas masaganang ani ng buhay ng mga mamamayan ng Lungsod Agham ng Muñoz. Makikita rin sa kanang bahagi ang huling letra ng uhay na nakasulat sa alibata. Ito ay kulay pula na sumisimbolo sa pag-ibig na siya ring dahilan kung bakit tayo nagdiriwang. Makikita rin sa letra ang imahe ng nota na sumisimbolo sa musika ng ating Lungsod. Ang musika ay bahagi din ng ating sining at kultura na bagamat nagbabago sa paglipas ng panahon ay patuloy pa ring sumasabay sa ating buhay upang gawing mas masaya ang ating pag ani at pagdiriwang. Makikita rin na kanang bahagi ang krus na sumisimbolo sa ating Dakilang Lumikha na siyang dahilan at pinagmulan ng lahat ng bagay na ating inaani, maging sa sining man, agham o anumang bagay. Nasa ibabang bahagi naman ang mga salitang “UHAY FESTIVAL” na binubuo ng iba’t ibang kulay na nangangahulugan ng masagana at maligayang pagdiriwang.

Description next slide

Ang Lungsod Agham ng Muñoz ay nakilala sa pagkakaron nito ng mayamang agrikultura na pinasidhi pa gamit ang mga kaalamang mula sa pananaliksik ng mga dalubhasang. Ang mga siyensiya (sciences) mula sa mga sangay ng gobyerno tulad ng PhilRice, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) at iba pa, ay nakatulong din upang maging mas kilala pa ang bayan ng Muñoz. Idagdag pa natin ang Central Luzon State University na taun-taon at maraming nagtatapos na matatalinong estudyante. At ngayon, sa paglulunsad ng Kapistahan ng Uhay ay tiyak na makatutulong pa upang mas makilala ang bayang ito.

Mula sa aking ginawang logo para sa kapistahan ng uhay, makikita rito ang isang magsasaka, si Muñoz, na may hawak na mikroskopyo sa kanyang kanang kamay at bungkos palay naman sa kanyang kaliwang bisig. Ang mikroskopya ay sumisimbulo sa Agham at ang bungkos palay naman na may pormang pampinta (paintbrush) ay sumisimbulo sa Mayabong Ani at Sining. Hindi pa man masyadong nakikilala ang sining sa bayang ito, inaasahan namang sa pagdiriwang ng kapistahan ng uhay ay unti-unting ma-engganyo ang mga makasining (artists) na patuloy na lumikha ng mga obrang maipagmamalaki, kalaunan, ng ating bayan. Alinsinod pa sa layunin ng kapistahan na ipakilala ang sining sa pamamagitan ng kapistahan, makikita sa likod ng magsasaka ang mga bandiritas na binubuo lamang ng tatlong pangunahing kulay (dilaw, pula at asul). Mga kulay na maaaring pagmulan ng iba't iba pang matitingkad at magagandang kulay na kinakailangan ng mga makasining upang makalikha ng obra.

Mapapansing sa halip ng salakot ang suot ng magsasaka, isang uri ng sumbrerong gawa sa yantok ang nakapatong sa kanyang ulo. Sumisimbulo ito sa marangyang buhay na maaaring maidulot ng turismo, pagdating ng sandaling sikat na ang Pista ng Uhay sa Pilipinas at maging sa buong mundo.

Makikita rin sa aking nilikhang logo ang labintatlong bitil ng palay, yamang ang kapistahan ng uhay ay kasabay sa ika-labintatlong anibersaryo ng Muñoz bilang lungsod aghan.

The uhay logo is composed of 3 elements: (1) the panicles that spells S-C-M, the city's popular acronym which symbolizes the rice industry. It can also mean rice Science; rice and Culture; and rice as a Means of livelihood. (2) the triangle which symbolizes the indispensable roles of the three major stake holders: the consumers, the producers (farmers) and government (3) and the square which can be interpreted as the four prime elements (earth, wind, water and fire) symbolizes mother nature The colors used were also symbolic: (1)dark blue is the color of truth and intelligence and thus symbolizes the search for truth (i.e science, research, experimentation, etc.) (2)red is the color of energy, action, passion and thus symbolizes the arts

Sa simula ito ay binhing itinatanim upang magkaroon ng buhay, pinaguukulan ito ng wastong pangangalaga at pangangasiwa upang magkaroon ng maganda at masaganang ani. Ang uhay ay isang pag-asa at humahawak sa butil na nagiging palay at bigas na pangunahing pagkain at pinagkakakitaan ng magsasaka at ng buong mamamayan sa tulong ng malalim at masusing pagsusuri ng siyensya at pag-aaral at pagpapaganda ng mga uri ng binhi ng palay sa pamamagitan ng mga sangay ng gobyerno na kaakibat nito sa larangan ng pag-unlad. Kasama na rito ang tamang proseso ng pagtatanim, pag-aani, pag-iimbak at pagbebenta upang makatulong sa pagunlad ng bayan at kanayunan. Sa puntong ito binibigyan ng importansya ang uhay ng buhay na biyaya ng Maykapal sa sanlibutan, na kahalintulad din ng iba pang mga halaman. Kaya minabutingparangalan at bigyan ng halaga ang uhay sa pamamagitan ng UHAY FESTIVAL: Ani ng Sining at Agham, na sumasailalim sa masaya at mabungang ani ng pasasalamat.

I used lively, bold colors to capture the 'fun' and vibrance of a celebration. Symbols like the helices of an atom and a test tube were used to represent the science city's continuous efforts in improving the lives of Filipinos through Science. The bold colors, which is like a mash-up of different paints, and brush strokes/ bristles represent art.

To easily associate the festival logo with Munoz, the designs draw inspiration from the Science City’s seal Elements: The panicles/ grains are the central focus of the logos. It shows the festival’s main subject. The Molecular orbit depicts the science and the arts. With its unique form, it was creatively manipulated to show festivity and represent science as well. In logo 1, it was used as the unifying element to portray the science city’s basket full of harvest. Logo 2 and 3 gave a simple yet colorful portrayal of the theme. Each molecular orbit with different symbolic colors surrounds the panicle of grains. Logo 4, shows a more subtle molecular orbit with focus on the arts of the festival.

Colors: A variety of bright colors were incorporated in the logo designs. It’s not just to induce a feeling of celebration to the viewer’s eye but to appreciate the resources that the Science community can be proud of. Yellow / Gold both shows the source (sunlight) and the end product (grains). Blue and green was also added to depict the fertile land and irrigation water.

First off all, it is my first time to hear the term “uhay”, and I have to ask a friend what it means. So I guess, a lot off people dont also know the term. Therefore I decided to spell-out the term “uhay” to my logo to put the term in the mind of people that might see it. The mixture of science and art in one image is kind of perplexing to me. To integrate art, I have used colors (shades of green, red, blue and yellow) and shapes (using lines and curves) to make an attracting scheme, and I guess the mixture of colors and shapes is an art in itself. But I also think that art should not be featured as being visual only. So I also added the elements of earth, fire, water and air to represent the daily artistic aspects of lives of every Muñozeno. To feature science, I have used these four ancient elements of science (earth, fire, water and air). Earth is represented in bricks, fire in fiery shapes, water in clouds and air in bubbles. Accordingly this being ancient elements suggests the foundation of modern science. Like Muñoz, an old village and a center of modernity in science. Well I think, the true “ani” of every Muñozeno is their innovations in science using a primitive material (the palay). To make it more festive, I incorporated colorful “banderitas” --- which I think is one of the more familiar symbols of fiesta in the country. I have also used bold colors to make the logo fun and lively so that it transend the same spirit to everyone. Afterall, “fun and lively” is what I think this festival should be described.

The center of the logo is an atom which represents "Science" which is a goal of the uhay festival. It represents the science tourism. The atom is also surrounded by stalks of rice or "uhay" which represents the harvest. The decorative outside circle embodies art because it is beautiful. The whole logo represents the "Harvest of Arts and Science" which is what is celebrated by the uhay festival.

The center is an atom, representing science which will be promoted in this festival. To it's right side is rice representing the rich harvest of both science and arts. To the left side of the atom is a paintbrush, representing arts, and banderitas, representing the happiness that will envelop the celebration that is to happen in this festival. The banderitas' colors are based on the color scheme of Philippines' tourism campaign "It's more fun in the Philippines" to promote science tourism. The decorative outer circle is to represent the fertile soils that is needed for a rich harvest.

The center of the logo is an atom, which stand for Science. If you look closely, it is composed of rice grains that overlap in different angles to form an atom. The different colors in its sides are the colors of the rice grain from its young form up to the time which it can be harvested. The rays of light surrounding the atom stands for the science tourism, which is one of the goals of uhay festival. Under the atom are two green paintbrushes representing Arts. The paintbrushes are curved in a way that it would look like a leaf of the rice plant. At the end of the leaves are groups of rice grains or uhay which represents the Harvest of Arts and Science. If look at a distance, the logo would look like a man cheering or celebrating the Uhay Festival, the hands are the leaves, the fingers are the rice grains, the head is the atom.

The logo captures perfectly the essence of the Uhay festival. It shows a brown arm/hand (its color symbolizing the Filipino) holding a rice plant. The rice plant is full of grains as it symbolizes a bountiful harvest. At the end of the arm is a pencil and paintbrush symbolizing "sining and agham" (arts and sciences). The hand/arm connects the rice plant with the pencil and paintbrush as this symbolizes that the Filipino is able to excel both in rice production, arts and sciences.

This concrete logo for Uhay Festival depicts the synergy created by the Science and Technology with Rice with Rice food sufficiency in Province-as well as in nation-building. The irregular shape of Nueva Ecija Map as a rice granary, evolved into a shape of the big grain in the center. Now, the Province is equated to rice, being the seat of premier rice agency, the PhilRice. The conspicuous rice plant in the logo tell its all-rice is life. It is not just a food stuff, but also a commercial, economic, social and political commodity. The emergence of new younger leaves refers to the emerging rice technology specifically the use of hybrid seeds, which promises better yield than the traditionally self-pollinated inbred. The number of the grains in the panicle symbolizes the plurality of PhilRice development efforts and its many years of existence as leading rice development organization. Obviously, the ‘tom symbol’ covering the entire logo as well as the smaller one at the center, represents the role of S&T in the total development process, as its relates to rice R&D. Rice sufficiency can only be possible with science-based production technology. The color choice for it reflects patriotism-red, white and blue, while the star-like atom in the center symbolizes power and sovereignty of Filipino farmer and consumers.
