“The jungle of the rainforest and the congo peafowl and elephants that live there are depicted in vibrant colors. Also, in the image of wishing for peace and valuing the unique aesthetic sense of "Sape", we adopted stripes and large checks as a bold composition. On the ribbon, I wrote the slogan of the Republic of the Congo, "unification, labor, progress.”[1]
