Médias Ébène adopts a new graphic charter

This essential work was entrusted to the talented Togolese graphic designer Abigaïl Hodor and took two months to complete.

The Média Ébène logo, designed for African media outlets, is a distinctive visual representation. Composed of four overlapping semicircles, it forms a rainbow reminiscent of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth symbols, illustrating connectivity and data transfer, which are essential in the media.

The upper yellow semicircle begins at the base of the arch and ends with a small orange circle, symbolizing the beginning of the dissemination and transmission of information, embodying the diversity and cultural richness of Africa. The dynamic yellow and orange colors evoke the energy and vibrancy of the ever-evolving African media.

The next two semicircles, orange and yellow, stop halfway, representing the stages of the communication process and the diversity of voices in African media. Each actor makes their own unique contribution.

The fourth semicircle, yellow, ends in an orange square, symbolizing the stability and solidity of African media, rooted in their values and traditions while remaining open to innovation. The square shape contrasts with the curves of the semicircles, evoking structure and organization, which are crucial to media credibility.

Next to this design, the name "Média Ébène" is written in capital letters and brown, adding a touch of sophistication and seriousness. Brown, associated with the earth and roots, recalls a connection to traditions and cultural identity.

This logo embodies Média Ébène's mission: to connect, inform, and inspire African media. With its simple yet meaningful appearance, it offers a modern and inclusive representation of communication in Africa, where tradition and innovation come together to create a rich and vibrant media landscape.

In March 2024, Radio Réveil France and Radios Ébène Développement merged to create Médias Ébène, a new entity dedicated to supporting and developing Christian media in French-speaking Africa. Based in Pontarlier, it inherits a rich history and complementary expertise. With around 30 active members, a six-person board of directors, and a three-member executive committee, Médias Ébène continues the mission of its predecessors. Since 2019, the two associations have collaborated closely, notably during the first seminar in Lomé, and have contributed to the creation of FOMECAF, which brings together 129 media outlets in 13 countries.
