ASSAM TOURISM UNVEILS A NEW BRAND IDENTITIY

CAPTURING THE ESSENCE OF THE STATE

The land of Red Rivers and blue hills- Assam, gets a new brand identity. Dr. Himanta Biswa
Sarma, Hon’ble Minister, Finance, Tourism etc, Assam, unveiled its new logo and positioning
statement. Shri V.S. Bhaskar, IAS, Additional Chief Secretary Tourism and IT Departments
also graced the occasion along with other senior officials of Tourism Department.

On the launch of the new brand identity, Dr. Sarma in an effervescence tone, said, “We
needed to present Assam in its full glory and splendor and the new brand identity captures
the real essence of the state. This new logo is a step towards telling tourists all over the
world to explore Assam, and they will love every moment here. The positioning ‘Awesome
Assam’ is defining state’s awe-inspiring facets in full glory”

The logo constitutes four essential elements that exemplify Assam- rhinoceros representing
wondrous wildlife, emerald-green tea leaf, the wave of mighty Brahmaputra and scenic
beauty ever-shining like the sun. When put together in a harmonious blend, it tells the story
of Awesome Assam.

The logo depicts Assam as a delightful abode for the senses. All the four elements of the
logo are unbound, thus signifying serenity and soothing solitudes as far as one can see or
feel. The overall look of the logo appears as natural and unblemished, as something that’s
been preserved here for a very long time, away from the hustle-bustle of modernity and
pollution.

The logo is aesthetically rich as it projects so many untold awesome stories attached to it. So
much so that it might strike you with the thought, “let’s go to awesome Assam.”

Dr. Sarma delineates as to what really went into making the logo. He told, “In advertising
parlance, the product is as important as the story. Here, in the form of Assam, we already
have a great product. However, the challenge was to tell its story via brand identity in a
captivating manner. Assam is not just a state, in fact, it’s a blend of so many things; starting
from a destination of discoveries, adventures, culture, tranquility and more”

Dr. Sarma mentioned “Our Govt. is committed to transforming Assam into a


better tomorrow with a host of schemes like infrastructure development through Public
Private Partnership modes, operation and management of properties and critical GAP
analysis in tourism circuits. Besides this, we have devised a publicity plan that includes
participation in major national and international fairs and festivals, organizing road shows and
up gradation of the website with online booking facilities; all this and much more under the
thorough supervision of a professional consultant. In the long run, we intend to take
‘Awesome Assam’ beyond the realm of tourism to pave the way for socio-economic
developments in the state”

The State Govt. is also mindful of the livelihood needs of its local natives and conducting
special training programmes for skill development and employment generation
like housekeeping, food production, driving & etiquette development, apart from developing a
cadre of professional guides and photographers for tourism purposes.
