STAVANGER, Norway – NATO Joint Warfare Centre’s (JWC) 20th anniversary coin logo was unveiled at the all hands call on June 27, 2023.
The winner of the logo competition is Ms Elisabeth, a reprographics technician employed at the JWC since 2018, whose design was selected by the JWC’s 20th anniversary working group and later, by Major General Piotr Malinowski, Commander JWC, from among half a dozen entries.
The JWC’s 20th anniversary coin logo visualizes the JWC’s steadfast commitment to NATO and highlights its strong relationship with Norway: the Norwegian flag prominently taking up the top half, the JWC crest at the bottom, and in the middle an illustration of Mount Jåttå, the site that has hosted the JWC since 2003. And of course there is the Three Swords monument – the most iconic landmark in the city of Stavanger, our home in Norway.
In his speech, Lieutenant Colonel Stefan Kühling, the Head of the JWC’s Public Affairs Office and Media Simulation Branch, as well as the lead planner for the JWC’s 20th anniversary, thanked all coin logo competition participants and congratulated Ms Elisabeth.
Major General Malinowski then presented Ms Elisabeth with the JWC crest and commended her for her winning design.
The JWC was established on October 23, 2003, in Jåttå, Stavanger, Norway, subordinate to Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT), in Norfolk, Virginia, the United States. The Centre achieved its full operational capability in 2006. Today, the JWC is the premier collective training establishment of the NATO Alliance at the operational- and strategic-levels of warfare.
