Emblems suggested for judiciary, government

BANGALORE: Emblems identify on organisation, they are different from logos which can be used and traded by companies who have registered them. Emblems and Insignia, however, create a more permanent association in the minds of the public with the organisation using them. These and more points were raised at the unveiling of four emblem suggestions for the Judiciary and Government of Karnataka on Wednesday. These emblems have been suggested by the Human Relevant Research Institute and feature the words ‘Constitution of India’ prominently on top along with ‘Government of Karnataka’ at the bottom and ‘High Court of Karnataka’. The emblems were revealed by G Dakshinamurthy, Chairman of Centre for Law and Parliamentary Reforms along with J R Bangera, President, Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) and other dignitaries, at a workshop on social responsibility. “Symbolism exists in two facets, what is plainly shown and what is implied. Emblems identify a organisation that is why we believe it is important to standardise emblems especially for government bodies,” said  Dakshinamurthy. “It is an intellectual exercise, the choice is upto the government and the court now. Logo’s can be sold or traded but an emblems will last as long as the organisation,” said J R Bangera. The day also saw the release of a comprehensive album on emblems used by various organisations in the state. This directory will provide a roadmap through the maze of organisations that exist in the state for members of the public interested in such exercises. “I hope the authorities accept these emblems, they will bring uniformity,” said HKV Reddy, Former President of Rotary Club.
