The origins of the logo are unknown; most of the Egyptian Agencies and Departments use their current logos and seals after the Egyptian Revolution in 1952, but the exact date is unknown. Even the designer of the original logo itself is unknown.
Public domain from a copyright standpoint, although government and military logos and seals in Egypt are protected as state symbols, they may be displayed in limited contexts for educational purposes or other informational/reference content.
This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status.
