The Symbol is simple to write in two or even in single stroke as shown in the animated attachments and is truly unique!
The underlying theme of this design is inevitably based on the ancestral and cultural tradition, brought up on the Indian soil over ages. The religious harmony along with the passions of its social and cultural behaviors is united together in a single currency symbol. The symbol Swastika is considered as the symbol of all- round prosperity in India and also it was used as a symbol in the currencies of the king, Satavahan. Moreover, it has mingled with the Indian cultural from the early dawn of civilization as a sign of glory, prosperity, progress and success. Hence, Swastika is unavoidably a part of this proposed symbol for Indian Rupee (INR). Most of the ancient Indian currencies had the sign of the ruling emperor on them, strengthening the power of dynasty. A portrait of the same is reflected too in this proposed symbol for INR. At present, Indian Rupee (INR) is represented by symbols like , and they are also parts of the designed symbol if closely examined. The symbol also has a structural orientation resemblance with its foreign counterparts like $ (US Dollar), € (EURO), £ (GBP), ¥ (YEN) etc.
The foundation of this design lies in the cultural and historical backgrounds of India. The details of the underlying Theme concepts are listed below:
1. The ancient India used to portrait the lateral face of the king in their currencies and the Frontal lobe of the symbol is a symbolic representation of the same.
2. The horizontal line signifies stability of Indian Rupee in the International Market and the two opening arms of the horizontal line represents its negotiation with other foreign currencies.
3. Moreover, the contribution of ancient India in Decimal/number system, Zero, Pi (Aryabhatiya) and trigonometry can be recalled from the various parts of this symbol.
4. The vertical bar of the symbol also represents the “I” letter of India.
5. The letters “I” and “U” can be found as overlapping parts of the symbol and thus signifies Unity of people in India. Also, the bottom portion of the symbol, resembling overlapped “I” and “U”, seems to invite all the nations and religions here and thus making a sense of religion-indifferent country.
6. The circle at the centre uniting the four arms of the symbol represents the religious harmony in India.
7. The symbol has portions which resemble R, S, U, and P and E and thus can signify either Rs/ Rupee as derived from the Sanskrit word “Rupyakam” or Paisa as well.
8. The Hindi letter “Ru” can also be found as a part of the symbol.
9. This symbol has benefits of better readability/writing (only three parts are combined together to form this symbol) as compared to other complex symbolic representations in ancient history and also has similar structural orientation like $ (US Dollar), € (EURO), £ (GBP), ¥ (YEN) etc., enhancing its prospect of popularity by frequent usage with its counterparts.
10. The central circular part of the symbol has partial resemblance to the “Ashok Chakra” and the sign of many ancient thoughts like permanent home, four cycles of life etc.
11. Also, the traditional sacred pot (Calash) can be identified as a part of the symbol and thus this symbol bears the sign of peace and holy too.
12. The combined horizontal & vertical parts of the symbol has resemblance to the sign Swastika, which is well-known as a sign for glory, prosperity, happiness and success (Don’t confuse with Nazi’s symbol as that on is crossed one with no dots at the diagonals).
13. The symbol Swastika was also used in the currencies of the emperor Satavahan and hence the inclusion of the same in this design is quite relevant.
14. Moreover, the traditional & sacred “OM” sign can also be observed as a part of the symbol. “Om” has been mingled with Indian culture and its species for thousands of years. It is present in mantra or prayer both in ancient and today and the sound makes everybody to have a sacred feeling.
15. The Trishul of Lord Shiva can also be found as the bottom part of this symbol. Undoubtedly, Lord Shiva has a great impact on our social and religious culture from the early dawn of civilization in India.
16. Again, the upper frontal lobe of the symbol along with its vertical bar bears the sense of always-raised Indian flag to its countrymen.
17. Also, this symbol is not Religion-specific and also one can find its own Religious symbol like Hindus can see Swastika or Lord Shiva’s Trishul as part of this symbol, Christians can see the Crush in the Crossing of horizontal and vertical bars and Muslims can see the Moon of Id in the Sectored Portions of the Circle etc. The other religions can also find their holistic symbols/signs here as it has such a curvedly nature. Thus, this symbols tells about Religious harmony in India too.
18. Finally, the symbol as a whole, itself reminds of an emperor bending to his knees with an sword in the right-hand facing upward to fight the enemies and another sword in the left-hand facing downward to hold peace in the country.
19. More to say, the symbol has a resemblance with “India”s Map i.e, geographical structure!
20. And, also this symbol has a correlation with musical notation G-Clef as the ancient India & its emperors encouraged musical culture always. Part of the Symbol also resembles Indian musical instruments like Guitar, “Tanpura” etc.
21. India is also recognized as a ground of self-devotees, martyrs & patriots as their till-death fight make India a free nation today. The Cross sign at the Central Circle of the symbol bears the Symbol of “Gun”, which in turn signifies Fight/War/Revolution.
22. It is not at all complicated as it consists of 1 P, 1 O and 1 horizontal S. It is by default a three Stroke symbol, however, it can be written in two stroke(as shown in the attachment “India Rupee Symbol – Two Stroke Animated.gif” like writing “&” character) or even in a single stroke(as shown in the attachment “India Rupee Symbol – Two Stroke Animated.gif”). And, therefore, either a school boy or an illiterate person can write it easily.
23. Moreover, the pattern is so unique that ambiguity will never arise with other letters/ currencies/numbers even if written carelessly or in too hurry. Also, to mention, I was able to write 100 such symbols in 1 minute!
I think the way I designed this Indian Rupee Symbol is truly unique and complete to my knowledge so far.
