This emblem was officially approved by the Jogorku Kenesh on January 14, 1994, more than two years after Kyrgyzstan gained independence. Artists Asein Abdrayev and Sadyrbek Dubanaev became the authors of this significant symbol.

According to official sources, the selection of the main state symbol was a large-scale and competitive process. A total of 2,234 sketches were submitted for the competition, and a special commission of 21 deputies from the Jogorku Kenesh was formed to evaluate them. The final version of the emblem was chosen after several stages of discussion.
The emblem is executed in a traditional blue color, which is characteristic of Turkic peoples and symbolizes purity, peace, and the sky. In the center of the emblem is a white falcon (ak shunkar) with outstretched wings, embodying freedom and aspiration for the future. Against the backdrop of the falcon are Lake Issyk-Kul, the Ala-Too mountain ranges, and the rising sun, symbolizing the country's natural wealth and its eternity.
Surrounding the emblem are images of wheat and cotton, symbolizing the hard work of the people and agrarian traditions. The upper part of the circle reads "Kyrgyz," and the lower part — "Republic."
The state emblem, along with the flag and anthem, is an important attribute of statehood, reflecting the historical development, values, and national identity of the Kyrgyz Republic.
