Jamaat’s Position on the Logo
- Party leaders confirmed to the media yesterday that a change in logo is under consideration.
- However, they stressed that no final decision has been made.
- Several designs are currently on trial, and the approved version will be formally announced later.
The logo, revealed on Sunday but later withdrawn, contained:
- A green book as the base.
- An emerging sun rising from behind the book.
- A pen, used as the vertical balance bar of Jamaat’s traditional scale symbol.
- Semi-circular arcs emerging from both ends of the book.
- The words “বাংলাদেশ জামায়াতে ইসলামী” (Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami) in golden letters beneath.
- The party’s name written in Arabic and English in white over a golden background.
By Monday, the logo space appeared blank in the photos, although the golden text “Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami” remained.
