National Human Rights Commission of Korea
Logo of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea
The logo’s simplicity and formative beauty are intended to add to the reliable and authoritative image
of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea as the nation’s leading institution dedicated to
the protection of human rights.
The logomark is rendered in blue, representing “creation,” “life” and “spring” in accordance with the
five elements theory, to communicate the identity of the Commission as a human rights institution
committed to the well-being of people. The symbol also combines Korea’s modernity and tradition:
a dove and a hand standing for “peace” and “inclusiveness”; and a circle, the most fundamental
shape, implying “centeredness and concentration,” “diversity and positivity,” “sun and brightness,”
“harmony and inclusiveness,” and “justice and fairness,”
