Graphic design representing modern
telecommunication and the symbol of the 150th Anniversary of the ITU,
combined with Thailand's identity in the world community, namely: buildings
with traditional Thai roofs, including with
ngao
and
haang
hong, a
bell-shaped
pagoda, a postman
wearing a motorbike helmet delivering mail to a man, a communications
satellite, a man speaking on a cell phone, a woman sitting at a desk wearing
head phones and looking at a TV screen, a medical doctor writing with a pen
on a tablet. Above the latter three people is a black icon that indicates
connectivity and in the centre of the stamp is the number 150, printed in
white and with the 0 represented by the
150th Anniversary logo
of the
International Telecommunication Union,
i.e. a circle with latitude and longitude lines, symbolizing a world globe,
crossed with a slant thunderbolt, and the acronym
ITU. Underneath it, also in white, is the founding year 1865 and the modern year 2015. |
