Pyongyang, October 7 (KCNA) -- The emblem of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) is formed of a hammer, a sickle and a writing brush. Seeing the emblem of the WPK inscribed in its sacred flag on the occasion of the Party founding anniversary (October 10), the people of the DPRK recollect the undying feats of the peerlessly great man who developed the WPK into a powerful party rooted among the working masses. One day in July Juche 35 (1946) after the founding of the WPK, President Kim Il Sung called officials concerned to clarify the principled issues arising in creating the design of the Party emblem. He gave detailed instructions on the design, saying that the emblem of our Party should represent the working class, peasants and working intellectuals together to symbolically show the character of a unified party of the working masses. Creators arranged the hammer, sickle and writing brush in order from the class viewpoint. Watching the design drawn by creators, the President recommended that the hammer, sickle and writing brush should be crossed in the middle of their handles, hammer placed in the left, sickle in the right and brush in the middle. And he advised that the brush be placed in the middle, slightly higher than others, saying this means that all the workers and peasants should possess a high level of knowledge and culture and make a tangible contribution to the building of a prosperous and civilized independent and sovereign state. After examining the design revised by creators, he said that each symbol should be properly and distinctively drawn in such a way that everyone can clearly understand the order of hammer, sickle and brush in the Party emblem. Thanks to his wise leadership, noble intention and energetic and meticulous guidance, the emblem of the WPK, unique and perfect in ideological content and formative art and clearly symbolic of the Party's character and noble mission, came into being.
