India launches special logo to celebrate 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations with Japan

<p>
<strong>India on Tuesday released a special logo to mark the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Japan. </strong></p>
<p>
New Delhi and Tokyo had established diplomatic relations on 28th April 1952. To celebrate the historic occasion, the two countries had decided to release special logos. The Japanese side had launched its logo in August last year.<br />
<br />
In order to select the logo from India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had launched a logo design contest in September, inviting entries from the public through the MyGov portal.</p>
<p>
<img height="1" src="file:///C:/Users/Dell/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif" width="1" />A total of 1131 entries were received with the screening committee choosing the final logo based on the contest parameters.<br />
<br />
The selected logo depicts a peacock and a green pheasant, which are the national birds of India and Japan, respectively. The green pheasant forms the numeral 7 with its tail and the peacock forms the numeral 0.<br />
<br />
"The logo symbolises the bond of friendship between the two countries. It has been created by Anup Deo Purty who has studied Master of Computer Application (MCA) at Sardar Patel University, Gujarat. He has wide experience in e-learning, UI and website design," the MEA said today.<br />
<br />
A number of events have been planned to be held in India and Japan throughout the year to celebrate the 70th anniversary.<br />
<br />
It includes cultural activities, exhibitions and seminars, covering diverse areas of India-Japan bilateral relations. These events will mark the occasion in a manner that truly reflects its significance and the commitment of all stakeholders to realise the full potential of the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership.</p>
