DepED logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG DepED Logo PNG The DepED logo is based on one of the most universally recognized symbols of knowledge and the relationship between the tutor and student.
- Meaning and history The Department of Education (Philippines) is one of the major parts of the Philippine government system.
- It is headed by the Secretary of Education, who is chosen by the President and approved by the Commission on Appointments.
- The Educational Decree of 1863 stated that the so-called Superior Commission of Primary Instruction should be founded.
- The further evolution of the country’s educational system was closely connected with the establishment of Aguinaldo’s Republic followed by American rule.
- In 1945, the organization adopted a new name of the Department of Instruction, and in two years it was renamed Department of Education.
- However, that wasn’t the last time the organization changed its name: it also happened in 1972, 1978, and 1982.
- Symbol The DepED logo can be broken into three parts.
- The left part of the larger lettering “DepED” is given in dark blue.
- Its highlight is the unique “P” stylized as a burning torch, which is used as a symbol of education.
- Knowledge and wisdom are passed on from the teacher to student in the same way as the flame from one torch starts the flame on another torch.
- The lettering “ED” is given in red.
- The fact that the organization’s name features two different colors and that the “ED” is capitalized makes it easier to understand that it is an abbreviation.
- Once again, the centerpiece of the design is a burning torch.
- The map is housed inside a shield with a dark blue filling.
- Font Although the two “D’s” of the “DepED” lettering are the same, it still seems that this part of the logo is a custom artwork rather than a combination of glyphs borrowed from an already existing typeface.
- As for the font featured on the lettering “Department of Education,” it’s a simpler option with classic proportions.
- Colors The palette includes only three colors: red and blue on the white background.
- Red seems the perfect fit for the torch design as it’s the color of fire.
- Blue, in its turn, has been long known as the color symbolizing mental processes, thinking, so it also goes well with the educational theme.
