Fawad Chaudhry did not stare further about what he will be doing with the suggestion of graphic designers.
The national emblem was adopted in 1954 and features a star and crescent above. The shield in the center shows the jute and tea, the two major crops produce in Pakistan before the separation of East Pakistan. It also features cotton and wheat- the two major produces of Pakistan currently. The shield is surrounded by a wreath. Below the wreath is a scroll.
The state emblem represents Pakistan’s ideological foundation, the basis of its economy and its cultural heritage, and its guiding principles.
The floral wreath surrounding the shield represents Jasmine, the national flower of Pakistan. Also depicts the floral designs used in Mughal art and enforces the cultural heritage of Pakistan.

The scroll supporting the shield is inscribed with the national motto in Urdu-Iman, Ittihad, Nazm which can be translated to Faith, Unity, and Discipline.
