iran emblem square sticker

Emblem of Iran. The emblem of Iran (نشان رسمی ایران) since the 1979 Iranian Revolution features a stylised Perso-Arabic script of the Arabic word Allah ("God"). The logo consists of four crescents and a sword. The four crescents are meant to stand for the word Allah. The five parts of the emblem symbolise the Principles of the Religion. Above the sword is a shadda: in Arabic script, this is used to double a letter. The shape of the emblem is chosen to resemble a tulip, for the memory of the people who died for Iran: it is an ancient belief in Iran, dating back to mythology, that if a young soldier dies patriotically a red tulip will grow on his grave. In recent years it has been considered the symbol of martyrdom.
