Investigation

To investigate the viral post, we first searched on the internet whether the Supreme Court has recognized any such logo. We could not find any such credible news anywhere. After this, we also searched on the website of the Supreme Court. But here also we did not get any such news.

After that, we started investigating this logo. When we searched this logo with the help of Google reverse search image tool, we found a Facebook page named Teacher Logo, on which this logo was posted. On this page, we found some pictures in which people were seen pasting this logo on their cars and some group photos in which people are standing with the picture of this ‘logo’ in their hands.

After this, we found a picture of some people presenting this logo on the website of Commerce Talent Search Examination Foundation, behind which it was written in Punjabi: Logo creator: Mr. Rajesh Khanna, Principal.

We investigated with keywords and found that this logo was designed by Rajesh Khanna, principal of Government Senior Secondary School, Kasabad, Ludhiana, Punjab in the year 2017.

We contacted Khanna regarding this. He told us that he had made this logo dedicated to the teachers. He said that I used to think that the way doctors, lawyers, CAs, etc. have their own logo and they put it proudly on their car, similarly teachers should also have a logo so that teachers can also get recognition. But it is wrong that it has got the recognition of the Supreme Court. Nothing like that yet. Hope that happens soon.”
