Well, it is time now to create a logo for my blog. I have to say "Thanks" to Wai Zin Paing who designed this logo and many modern Myanmar stamps. The overall idea of the design comes from him. Lets go through the design elements of the logo.
The main element is the bird "Indian Roller". My pen name in Burmese is "Hnat Khar" referring the same bird. Here is the reason why I choose this bird. Burma issued Birds definitive in 1964 and 1968. Among the set, three low value stamps are 5 Pyas, 10 Pyas and 15 Pyas which featured "Indian Roller". At the time, the inland letter rate is 15 Pyas and solo use of 15Pyas bird stamp is enough for postage. The Indian Rollers carried the letters all over the country. They served their duties well.
In 1966, the inland air letter sheet with red imprint design of Indian Roller was issued. In the logo, that air letter sheet was illustrated with color changed as we limits two colors in the logo. Thus the logo illustrating the Indian roller bird is carrying the air letter. The bird is in illustrated double rings of which outer one is simulated perforation.
At the background, the small texts can be seen. These are extracted from
the article I published previously. It symbols that I am writing. Again, Thanks Pi for your nice design work.
It's my pleasure, Ko Toe. I am glad to be part of the designer of your logo. You also mentioned some helpful ideas for this logo. I would be happy to see your site with a beautiful logo.
