A heavenly point that floats in the vast blue sea.

This color blue is the true symbol of Namhae.
The blue island Namhae, the clean ocean,
the seagulls, the refreshing waves and Namhae Bridge.
All of these become one and create a single identity of Namhae County.

The symbol mark on business cards, flags, automobiles and urban structures was created according to the Namhae County Design Standards Manual to unify the identity of Namhae County and image of the tourist island Namhae.

Namhae County's CI Program enhances the harmonious spirit within the county buy instilling a sense of pride in the people, creates a stronger and unified image of Namhae and also promotes Namhae and its wonderful assets and attractions across the country and the world.

Namhae, a county known as the home of samja because of the county's abundance of yuja (citron), chija (gardenia) and bija (torreya nut tree), has gardenia as its county flower, torreya nut tree as the county tree and the migratory white heron that lives in a colony established in Bongjeon, San-ri, Namhae-eup, as the county bird.

After a public opinion poll in Namhae County and a public officials survey, an evaluation committee was established to evaluate the symbol mark options. Then, the selected candidate symbol marks were put through a county survey and the symbol mark we see today was finally selected.
