“Unveiled Yesterday, Gone Today: Jamaat’s Mysterious Logo Move”

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has quietly removed its recently revealed new logo from its official Facebook page, sparking fresh debate.

The Sequence of Events

The contrast between the two days’ photos fuelled speculation about the party’s stance regarding its new identity symbol.

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The logo, revealed on Sunday but later withdrawn, contained: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.
