The National Archives of Malaysia's Logo

Image

The National Archives of Malaysia's logo was designed by Encik Sumali Bin Amat. The logo competition ran from 1 February 1979 right up to 10 April 1979. The logo emulated the dome-shaped (Moorish) form of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (the dome plus the large clock) which symbolises the image of Malaysia.
