The plaque was designed in 1965/66 by J.C. Kim (who also designed the ITF logo)
The shape of the plaque takes the shape of a turtle shell, representing longevity and the health benefits of Taekwon-Do and the perseverance required to make it to Black Belt and beyond.
The colours represent the colours of the Taekwon-Do belts and the figures represent the pioneering instructors demonstrating the variation of techniques found in Taekwon-Do. The Fist in the centre is a cast of the founders own hand.
