Yeosu Mayor's Official Seal Replaced with 'Yeosu Jeonyongche' Typeface After Over 20 Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu City in Jeonnam announced on the 5th that it will replace the Yeosu mayor's seal, which has been used for over 20 years, from the existing 'Korean Jeonseo script' to the 'Yeosu Exclusive Font.'

The city decided to switch to the Yeosu Exclusive Font, developed as part of the 1999 Three-Yeosu Integration, to enhance the symbolism of the integrated Yeosu and give meaningful significance to the seal.

The scope of this seal revision includes not only the Yeosu mayor's seal but also 462 official seals previously used in Jeonseo script, such as those for town and township heads, civil affairs, and accounting officers.

Yeosu City plans to transfer the existing official seals to the archives for permanent preservation as administrative artifacts.

A city official stated, "The revision of official seals is part of the administration's effort to embody the spirit of the Three-Yeosu Integration and to approach citizens more familiarly," adding, "We will continue to strive for better communication with citizens."
