By now you may have seen our new GhanaConscious look at the new website. We’re changing the overall look of our website to capture an exciting and user-friendly image that is indicative of our mission and community.

Composed of an African map and the three colors we often see in many African flags, the new logo incorporates the three colored dots from the old GhanaConscious logo and the concept of RSS (Really Simple Syndication). RSS captures the notion of idea sharing from a variety of sources. In our case, it involves the syndication of content from subject related postings or sound waves contributed in an African context.

While the colors red, gold and green take on different meanings for each African country, setting them against the backdrop of an African map represents the generation of ideas that occurs on GhanaConscious from all of Africa. Our blogs and forums may spring from different backgrounds, locations, ideologies and disciplines, but we all have one end goal.

It is our hope that the new logo will renew an interest and enthusiasm to help make the GhanaConscious a community of people who take particular interest in discussing issues affecting its cultural neighborhood (primarily Ghana) and generate homegrown solutions for development.

As a user, you have the same capabilities — keeping a blog and contributing to a forum or blog discussions. GhanaConscious also gives you the opportunity to network with people from various academic and social backgrounds. If it’s been a while since you visited, log in, update your profile and help us learn more about you. And while you are it, join a group at Homefront (also set to have a new look soon!) Feel free to email comments about the GhanaConscious website to us.

Type away and let the intellectual talk begin...but don’t let it end there!

It’s time to move...
TSOOBOI!
