Regarding R&AW's logo/seal/emblem

edit

There is no official and concrete evidence that the image currently used in infobox is the logo/seal/emblem of R&AW. If anyone has any information/sources, I'd love to see, for the meanwhile, I am removing the image. Thank you, User4edits (talk) 05:38, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Further, there are many anomalies in the image, as follows:
1. The logo does not conform to the design patterns used by Govt agencies. For example see [:File:Intelligence Bureau.svg].
2. Secondly, and a major issue -- in the image, the English texts precede Hindi version. This is impossible for any Govt bilingual logo. The Hindi text comes first.
3. Thirdly, it simply appears to be a novice attempt by some individual to give a graphic identity to the agency by downloading Indian National Emblem, putting it in two wheat braids, and put applicable text inside it.
Therefore, I am expecting some strong and concrete evidence other than re-use of the image by news outlets, or the usage of this image in web/tv series.

Further, further,
The concerned individual seems to have made two logos, with same idea. The R&AW one,
and the Intelligence Bureau (India) one -- as can be seen here. Regards, User4edits (talk) 05:48, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have a question. If we don't have any official information regarding the logo or insignia of R&AW, can we use the national emblem as a de facto seal? Adiiitya (talk) 18:09, 18 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Motto

edit

The attached reference for the motto explains the meaning of ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah,’ but it does not confirm if it is the agency’s official motto. Therefore, I am removing it for now. Please add only those references which confirm the agency’s motto, officially. Thank you. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 21:20, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I discussed this a month ago: please do not add the agency motto until you have a source to justify it. I am removing it again; do not add it back unless you have a source.25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 12:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

The added reference requires a subscription, making it impossible to confirm which part of the reference supports the agency’s motto. Therefore, I kindly request that you add a reference that does not require a subscription. Thank you. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS 🍁 13:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
