The red circle embracing the heart represents trust and love, suggesting the role of the National Health Insurance Corporation; it also symbolizes the happiness of people as derived from a healthy, high-quality life. The circle’s stroke that appears to be drawn with a finger represents the new look of the National Health Insurance Corporation, which shows greater effort to close the distance between people through warm communication as a friendly public institution.
These characters are created from the motif of Haetae (mythical unicorn lion), which symbolizes good health and long life. ‘Gun-Yi’ (left blue character) protects public health, whereas ‘Gang-Yi’ (right pink character) is the health fairy.
