The logo went through several changes in design, from a simple representation in 1931 to the more detailed symbols of the 1934 version, and later, the addition of the moon and star in 1939.

The moon and star represented the Islamic faith and the unity of the Muslim community, reinforcing the organization's commitment to guiding others through the principles of Islam.

How did the leadership change in 1939 affect the logo?

The leadership change in 1939, with Kyai Haji Zamzam's resignation and the appointment of a new leader, led to the modification of the organization's logo.
