The
logo of the
International
Council of Women, i.e.
a oval field
with in blue the initials ICW stylized over each other and a map of the world
with some banners that bear the Latin text Omnia Quacumque Vultis Ut Faciant
Vobis Homines Et Vos Facite Illis, the ICW's slogan meaning In Everything,
Whatever You Wish That Men Would Do To You, Do To Her, i.e. a variant on
the Vulgate text of Matthew 7:12. Added in black onto the regular logo
are
the silhouettes of some Thai-style
temples
and
pagodas,
referring to the fact that the 1970
triennial International
Council of Women's
conference is
held in
Bangkok.
In the top left corner is the logo of the Thai chapter of the
Council of Women. i.e. The National
Council of Women of Thailand, which is under the royal patronage of Queen
Sirikit.
Hence the NCWT's circular logo is topped with a royal
chadah-style
crown and the Queen's royal cypher, i.e. the Thai initials S.K. (ส.ก.),
which stand for
Sirikit Kitthiyagon.
The
pale blue colour of the logo refers represent the colour of the Queen's
birthday according to
the
sih prajam wan-system
and corresponds to Friday. On the exterior side of circular part of the logo
are petals resembling those of a
lotus,
while in the central part is above the Thai text Saphah Satrih Haeng Chaht
(สภาสตรีแห่งชาติ), i.e.
National
Council of Women,
and below the text Nai Phra Boromma Rachchinoo Patham (ในพระบรมราชินูปถัมภ์),
i.e.
Under
Royal Patronage. |
