Logo is a design composed of art, text and images adopted by an organization to symbolize their existence and identity. Usually logos are designed based on organization's vision, mission, aims, goals and objectives. It may sometimes be a simple art or simply a combination of two or more alphabets, yet it carries in-depth meaning of an organization.
The heaped jewels colored in yellow, orange and blue with a flame immersed in a gridded hemisphere is a logo of National Land Commission Secretariat- an apex and autonomous land governing agency in Bhutan.
In a simpler context, Our earth is composed of four elements such as land mass, water body, fire and Air. The yellow and orange colored Jewel-Norbu represent land mass(sazhi) as a whole. The blue one represents water body, Vegetation and Air(sky). And the flame above the jewel represents the fire element. More than half or about 71% of our earth is said to be under water with remaining 29% as land mass. Therefore land is precious.
Althoug Bhutan has about 38,394 Sq.ft land coverage but the arable land used for agriculture is about 2.93% of the total area as of 2017 in Bhutan. The limited arable land makes our land as precious as jewel. Moreover the existence of National Land Commission Secretariat as an enforcing agency has very crucial roles in administering and managing land issues in Bhutan.
Likewise NLCS is well equipped with survey and mapping technologies functioned by technical personnels. Earth coordinate systems, cadastre, geodesy and geographic information system have been put to best use by technical staff enabling to produce our own cadastral maps and coordinate systems. The gridded hemisphere incorporated in the logo signifies agency's autonomy in terms of survey and mapping.
Interpretation by the Designer
The logo of NLCS was actually designed by Mr. Tshering Penjor who worked with Cadastral Information Division. Currently he is in Canada pursuing his passions and dreams.
