The new logo was adopted in October 2020. The former logo was changed since
it does not reflect the town's geographical, cultural and visual features. The
public context organized by the municipality did not yield any eligible design.
Accordingly, the municipality commissioned Özgür Kalın to design a logo, which
he offered for free to his town.
The triangle recalls the triangular
shape of the municipal territory. It also represents the town's natural
resources: air, water and soil.
The Şavşat house, built in wood, stone nd
other stuff, is the symbol of the region's traditional and peaceful life,
connected with the soil and natural environment. The whole life has been
organized around these buildings for centuries.
The mountain, the stream and
the forest represent Şavşat's unique natural beauties. The municipal territory
hosts one of the world's most diversified flora and fauna, with several endemic
species.
The everlasting flower is collected every year by the inhabitants of
Şavşat at 2,000-2,500 m in elevation. As a symbol, it hangs in each house's most
beautiful place and keeps its flavor for months and years. It symbolizes the
permanence of the Republic's educative values.
The logo's color is a mix
of the region's two most important colors, blue and green. Blue represents the
neighboring black sea, dozens of lakes and hundreds of streams. Green represents
a unique natural environment composed of forests, meadows and pastures.
