Symbol of the National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea The symbol of the National Human Rights Commission of the Republic of Korea (NHRCK) is designed in a simple logotype to signify the credibility warranted as a human rights watchdog with greater aesthetic sophistication appropriate for the status of the NHRCK as the national institution for the promotion and protection of human rights. Blue, the color believed to represent ‘creation’ and ‘life’, and in particular ‘spring’ according to the Yin-Yang Theory was used in an attempt to represent the unique identity of the NHRCK in its commitment to human beings. It also takes the form that combines a dove and a hand to embody the message of ‘peace’ and ‘tolerance’. The hand-shaped bird is seen with a small circle, the most elemental shape, to communicate the ideas of ‘center and concentration’, ‘diversity and positiveness’, ‘sun and light’, ‘harmony and tolerance’, and ‘fairness’
