Bangladesh Police have finalised its new logo or monogram to replace the existing one.

The new logo features the national flower Shapla (water lily), resting on water, surrounded by wheat and paddy wreath jointed by three jute leaves at the top.

The word "Police" in Bengali shall be written below the lower joint of paddy and wheat wreath, reports BSS.

An order to this end was issued on Thursday by the Police Headquarters signed by its Additional Deputy Inspector General (Logistics) Nasima Akhter.

The Police Headquarters has asked all concerned to prepare the changed monogram/logo for use in flags, signboards, uniforms and other items used in your district/unit.

The order said the monogram has already received the approval of the appropriate authorities and is waiting for the issuance of the gazette notification.

The order said the new logo has been finalized as part of the implementation of the decision to change the current monogram or logo of Bangladesh Police.
