FCC Introduces New Official Seal

The Federal Communications Commission has adopted a new seal. The redesigned seal is the product of an agency-wide contest that solicited proposals from FCC employees and contractors. The winning design was submitted by Umasankar Arumugam and selected by a vote of the agency’s employees and contractors. The revised design incorporates the following elements:

• Communications technologies currently transforming our world;
• Four stars on the outer seal border, drawing from the legacy of the original seal of the Federal Radio Commission, the predecessor agency to the FCC;
• Eighteen stars on the shield, recognizing the current number of Bureaus and Offices; and
• The eagle and shield, identifying the FCC as an agency of the Federal Government.
