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.”
