DILG logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG DILG Logo PNG While the logo of the Department of the Interior and Local Government drew inspiration from the Flag of the Philippines, it features unique imagery reflecting its mission.
- Meaning and history One of the first Cabinet positions of the revolutionary Philippine government, which was formed in 1897, was the Department of the Interior.
- Another institution under the same name was created in 1901, following the American occupation.
- In 1950, the organization ceased to exist once again in its long history, to be restored only 22 years later under the name of the Department of Local Government and Community Development.
- Symbol At the very center of the DILG Logo, there’s the lettering “DILG” in black capitals.
- Behind the abbreviation, the map of the Philippines can be seen.
- There’s a gradient effect, due to which the design seems to conjure up the warmth and glow of the sun.
- You can notice a “sandy” effect at smaller sizes, but it is only at a larger size that you can understand why it appears.
- The fact that the shields and human figures are used alternatively emphasizes that joint efforts are necessary to establish peace.
- The red pattern is encircled by the full name of the organization, the “Department of the Interior and Local Government,” while the text “Republic of the Philippines” can be seen below.
- The text is placed in a yellow ring.
- The outline of the roundel is solid red.
- Evolution of the emblem The new emblem has been arguably inspired by the old one – they share several design elements and the meaning.
- While the previous DILG logo also features the shield theme, there’s a single shield, not a pattern.
- The font of the main text, the abbreviation, looks very much like Equip Bold published by Hoftype.
- Colors The combination of yellow and red was inspired by the national flag.
- While the brand identity guidelines mention the blue from the flag as one of the colors of the extended palette, it doesn’t actually appear on the current version of the logo.
- Instead, the actual DILG logo uses black, which creates decent contrast with the white background.
- As for the yellow, the following tone should be used: Pantone 107C, hex: #FFDE15.
- Each of the colors has a symbolic meaning: the passion for serving (red), openness to innovation (yellow), as well as honesty and loyalty to the people of the Philippines (blue from the full palette).
