About the Korea Start emblem (KOREA STAR)
To express the image of the local industry development and networking with related industries,“S,” the first letter of “star,” was used to symbolize the link between the networks and the energy and movement of the ascending power.
To express the characteristic of packaging design (i. e., summing of parts or materials), the flow of Korean yin-and-yang pattern was transformed into the star which includes the shape of “K,” the first letter of “Korea.”
The rectangle in the backdrop expresses the shape of a citation/certification plaque and symbolizes the pride and increased self-esteem of award-winning individuals/companies. The overall design promotes the usability for internal and extemal PR programs and advertisement.
