The Emblem of West Bengal is the official seal of the government of the Indian state of West Bengal.[1]
Design
The emblem consists of a circle depicting a globe with the state of West Bengal highlighted by a representation of the Bengali alphabet. The National Emblem of India appears above the globe and the emblem includes the name of the state in English (i.e. West Bengal) and in the Bengali language (i.e. Шаблон:Lang-bn). The central element of the emblem was also used by the state government's Biswa Bangla campaign to promote the sale of traditional Bengali handicrafts and textiles.[2]
Historic emblems
The current emblem was designed by Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of the state and was officially adopted in January 2018.[3][4] Prior to the adoption of the new emblem in 2018, the state government used the National Emblem of India for official purposes but had adopted a distinctive logo for marketing purposes. This logo, known as "Banglarmukh" (Face of Bengal), depicted a female face surround by a red veil.[5]
