History

The emblem was designed by painter, Laxman Aelay. It was adopted on 2 June 2014 after the newly formed government headed by K. Chandrashekar Rao adopted it. It was the first file to be signed by him after swearing in. Initially, Charminar was not included, but after the advice of Asaduddin Owaisi,, it was added.
Initially the national motto was written below the emblem. Naresh Kadyan with Abhishek Kadyan and Ms. Sukanya Kadyan raised their voice, taken up the matter with Government about insult of Emblem without Devanagari word. The inscription Sarnath Lion Capital is mandated to have the words Satyameva Jayate right under it, as per the State Emblem of India Act, 2005, which the new logo violated when it was first released. The emblem was corrected with an amendment approved by the Government of Telangana on 25 June 2014 made by Laxman Aelay, by moving the Satyameva Jayate below the Sarnath Lion Capital, complying with the national norm.
