Having been registered 
          and operational since 2002, PILDAT has turned 16 in 2018. The identity 
          of the organisation was designed in the shape of our logo in 2002. 
        In these 16 years, PILDAT 
          has grown and evolved and we believe it is time for a change. The PILDAT 
          team, therefore, has worked to bring in a fresh new look of PILDAT identity 
          in the shape of a fresh new logo. 
        The cornerstone of PILDAT�s 
          work is strengthening democracy and democratic institutions. Democracy, 
          therefore, is central to our work. Like the earlier logo, the new logo 
          also accentuates the �D� of Democracy in our name. Shaped like a crescent 
          with the star, the �D� of Democracy also represents Pakistan. The new 
          logo conveys the message, therefore, that Pakistan and democracy are 
          synonymous. In other words, PILDAT logo is re-designed to convey that 
          Pakistan�s prosperous future is linked to our democratic ethos and future 
          developments in democratic governance. 
        With the blessings of 
          the PILDAT�s Board of Directors, we begin the use of the new Urdu and 
          English Logos.
        As before, PILDAT will 
          continue to strive towards strengthening democracy and democratic institutions 
          in Pakistan.
