The first emblem of post-independence Burmese Armed Forces (Bama Tatmadaw) is a derivative work of the State Seal of Burma at that time; the circle of samaggānaṃ tapo sukho from the State seal is replaced by a shield in the Tatmadaw emblem.[9]

The State seal was changed in 1974, and the Tatmadaw emblem was changed on 1st October 1977.[10] The then new emblem is with a red map of the country, surrounded by a pinion and two ears of paddy, headed by a star (which are also the ones added to the State seal). Instead of using the name of the country, the Tatmadaw started to include its motto on its emblem. It also excluded the lions which was included in the former one.[11]
