About the Competition
Project Background
Nakhon Pathom is a place where history, culture, people and food have lived side by side for centuries.
“The Taste of the First City — Nakhon Pathom: A Harmony of Flavours” is an international logo design competition seeking an emblem that expresses the “taste” of Nakhon Pathom in a contemporary way. Rather than simply depicting food or tourist landmarks, it should convey the spirit of the city through design, and will be developed into a Visual Identity for communicating Nakhon Pathom nationally and internationally.
