A logo for the police force designed by Laxman Alley, a popular artist, was approved by the chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and incharge DGP Anurag Sharma. Laxman, who had already designed the Telangana state logo, had a tough time designing the logo amid stiff competition. The Telangana police received as many as 2,000 logos of which Laxman’s was finalised. “It was a very tough time for me to design the logo. I am sure the symbol will portray the bravery and sincerity that the force shows in maintaining the law and order and protecting people’s rights. the logo has the shape of a shield that evidently represents a warrior’s first line of defence. It also accentuates positive energy in action, understanding emotions of citizens, strong will power to make decisions and enables a conducive environment for a peaceful life for citizens,” Laxman told Express. The logo, with four colours, adds boost to the Telangana police. The word ‘Police’ in red vibrantly conveys that the police is in support of enabling citizens with wholesome protection round-the-clock. Black denotes qualities like straight forwardness, authority and power. Blue represents objectives of the police like peace, tranquility, harmony, order, loyalty, cleanliness and confidence while gold symbolises unique traits like success, achievement, triumph, prosperity, quality, prestige, sophistication, value and elegance, Laxman explained. The four Asiatic lions, standing with their back together, with the adage ‘Satyameva Jayate’ signify power, courage, pride and confidence. The logo also includes three essential principles -- honour, duty and compassion -- with the Telangana police intends to operate and offer its support to the citizens. The nested leaves symbolise the noble intention of creating lasting relationships. Overall, the insignia personifies the shared vision of instilling a feeling of security, confidence and peace among citizens of the state. “When I showed the logo to the chief minister, I explained the importance of the design, colours and symbols. It is the second logo I have designed for Telangana and its police after the formation of the state,” Laxman said. Laxman is a popular artist hailing from Kadirenigudem, a nondescript village in Atmakur mandal of Nalgonda district.
