A system of symbols (emblem) was created. For the first time, the Digital Communication Team of the Spokesperson’s Office of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism designed and distributed a unique emblem that informs Korean sign language interpretation services on the 27th ‘Day of the Deaf’ on June 3rd.
Korean sign language is the common language of the deaf in Korea. For deaf people who think and communicate in Korean sign language, Korean is a second language, so fast-flowing Korean subtitles or complex reading comprehension are inevitably difficult. Most of the publicity materials are also produced which focus on the blue people, so it is almost inconvenient for some deaf people to get all the information.

Deaf emoticon writer Koo Kyung-seon participated in the emblem design as a talent gift, and the final design was chosen directly by the deaf through a survey conducted by the Korean Deaf Association.

Among the institutions belonging to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the National Museum of Korea (Gukbak from now on) is the first to participate in the ‘Meet Sign Language’ project. Gukbak plans to apply this emblem to the Quar Code, which provides sign language interpretation videos for the permanent exhibitions ‘Room of Thought’ and ‘Greek Helmet Donated by Sohn Ki-jung’. In addition, related organizations such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Arts Center, and other public organizations are expected to use the ‘Meet the Sign Language’ emblem frequently in promotional materials such as exhibition and performance covers, posters. and booklets.
Among companies, Samsung Electronics is participating in this project. Samsung Electronics has taken the lead in increasing accessibility for deaf customers by operating a sign language counseling center and introducing sign language counseling services to online and offline stores.
