The Lions Emblem :- An official emblem for International Association of Lion Clubs, was appproved by the International Board on December 31, 1921. A large letter "L" standing for Law - Liberty - Labour - Loyalty - Love - Lions, on a circle representing the Lions and Lions Clubs all bound together into one; Lions' profiles looking two ways, representing a Lion looking in every direction for an opportunity to give unselfish service, with the word "Lions" at the top representing the Association, and the word "International" at the bottom indicating it is as International Assoceation. It is the unwritten obligation of every Lion to wear and display his emblem with pride.
