The original emblem contained the inscription "Union of Myanmar", three lions (the lion at the top was replaced with a star). Instead of a gear there was a circle surrounded by text in Burmese (MLC Transcription System: ta.pau; tha-baw). However, during the reign of the socialist Non-Vin , the emblem was changed, a gear wheel and double olive wreaths appeared on it. The words have also been changed.
The Burmese emblem contains socialist elements, namely a gear wheel and a star. The emblem shown on this page is written in Burmese: Pyidaungsu Socialist Thamada Myanmar-naing-gan-daw, which actually means “Socialist Union of Myanmar”.
