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:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”

“The rumor of a great city goes out beyond its borders, to all the latitudes of the known earth. The city becomes an emblem in remote minds; apart from the tangible export of goods and men, it exerts its cultural instrumentality in a thousand phases.”
