Proposed Emblem
In 1925, the Turkish Ministry of National Education held a contest for a national emblem of Turkey. Namık İsmail, a painter, won the contest with his emblem which depicted Asena, a mythological female wolf in the founding myth of the Ashina clan which ruled the Göktürk Empire. However, this emblem was never used.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or emblem:
“We have no one to blame for the Kennedys but ourselves. We took the Kennedys to heart of our own accord. And it is my opinion that we did it not because we respected them or thought what they proposed was good, but because they were pretty. We, the electorate, were smitten by this handsome, vivacious family.... We wanted to hug their golden tousled heads to our dumpy breasts.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“I had often stood on the banks of the Concord, watching the lapse of the current, an emblem of all progress, following the same law with the system, with time, and all that is made ... and at last I resolved to launch myself on its bosom and float whither it would bear me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
